Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

Charming forest paths lead you past numerous narrow streams that supply water to some small marshy areas. A root path takes you uphill on boggy ground between blueberry bushes, ferns and mosses. When you reach the waterfall stream, beautiful views open up once again. Winding forest paths take you past two torrents and the Doser waterfall before you take a dirt track to Häselgehr. Behind the Lech bridge, the Lechweg and Lech loop separate. A path runs close to the banks of the Lech and you pass a few hay barns. After a passage through the forest, you have a view of the wide gravel beds of the Lech. A little later, you walk along the edge of an alluvial forest, then in the immediate vicinity of the Lech, to the nature park house.
