Mountain Hike

The first Lech loop is located in the alpine environment and offers magnificent views. Finally the Capricorn is at home there again. What most people only notice at second glance are the different layers of rock - but geologists read in them, like in an open book of the history of the earth.

With this alternative to the 2nd stage of the Lechweg, the hiking trail leads from Lech via Oberlech past the landscape conservation area Gipslöcher through the floodplain field to Austria's most beautiful course: Lake Körbersee. This romantic place invites you to stay and relax - before continuing towards the Hochtannbergpass. On the old salt road they follow above the valley and finally reach the Walser village Warth. From there the blue hiking bus takes you back to Warth or you continue along the Lechweg on the 3rd stage to Tyrol.

Directions

To the west you start following the signposted and asphalted path towards Oberlech. At the Oberlech mountain station, a path leads northwest towards Körbersee. The trail leads past the Hotel Mohnenfluh, crosses the centre of Oberlech and follows the asphalt road up to the left. On the plateau is the barbecue area. Here the path Groß Walserweg northwest through the Auensattel until you reach the fork after about 3 km. A sharp right turn leads through the lower Auenfeldalpe. To the left the Juppenspitze and Mohnenfluh, to the right the Karhorn in view. After about 30 minutes you reach the fork in the path, follow Großer Walserweg and follow the natural path Walserweg towards Körbersee. After about 15 minutes you reach a plateau with a view of the Körbersee. The shore path leads directly to the Körbersee restaurant. The ideal place to stop.
Behind the restaurant to the north, the broad, partly stony road leads uphill. After a few more, Lake Kalbelesee spreads out into the Hochtannberg Valley. The flat path from Hochtannberg leads north partly on the road and hiking trail to Hochkrumbach to Warth.

Suggestions

The Körbersee lake captivates with its excellent drinking water quality, which provides a retreat for fish such as trout and special plants.
