The Lech hiking trail between Steeg and Warth leads idyllically through the mountain forests above the Lech river. There are always lovely rest stops along the way and the view of the Alpine panorama is magnificent.

July 12, 2022,Lechweg Etappe 3 / Lechleiten --> Holzgau 🇦🇹
After the start at the Lechleiten bus stop (10:30 a.m.), we went straight uphill, in very sunny weather, onto a high-altitude trail. At lunchtime the sun is already sizzling down on you 🥵 ( @Petrus, such a middle way is somehow not your thing ). From time to time there is a light breeze. At kilometer 10 there is a …

Especially in the first section of this third stage there are plenty of views! One great photo motif chases the other. And again, the tour runs on very varied paths.
In Steeg there is a great snack bar right on the street. And just before Holzgau there is a beautiful Kneipp facility.

Today without many words.

The Lechweg runs about 125km from the source at Formarinsee in Vorarlberg through Tyrol to the Lechfall near Füssen in the Allgäu.

The sun was kind to us again today. At the beginning we walked uphill and downhill along shady forest paths and along the Lech. With the heat, we were …

Hiking on the Lechweg means walking through one of the last wild river landscapes in Europe.
As it rained all night and the forecast for the day wasn't the best, we opted for the so-called Panoramaweg and the stage from Lechleiten via Steeg back to Holzgau. It was great how the peaks of the Lechtal Alps, some of which were …

At first, it was a decent climb from the bus stop to Lechleiten. And from there, it continued uphill along the mountain, with truly magnificent views all the way.
After about 7 km, the trail descended the entire height (and a few more) to the Lech River.
The rest of the route then continued along the Lech River again, sometimes …
