This 2.5-hour circular hike leads up to the Harbe Weiher weir at 1,600 metres above sea level in the Kaunergrat Nature Park. It can be found in the middle of a charming forest, surrounded by icy streams, glistening snowfields and impressive views of the Ötztal Alps. Attentive hikers may be able to spot tracks in the snow and even a few shy wild animals in the forest. There is also a restaurant named "Gacher Blick" serving hearty local food and offering fabulous views of the Inn Valley.
