Lechtal high path

The Lechtal high trail crosses the homonymous alps and is one of the most beautiful alpine paths in the Eastern Alps.

The complessively 105 km long Lechtal high path (Lechtaler Höhenweg) crosses the Lechtal Alps longitudinally in East-West direction or vice versa. The Lechtal high alpine path is part of the north alpine hiking trail n° 1 and also a variant of the European Long Distance Trail E4 is partly identical with the Lechtal trail.
In order to hike the whole trial you should schedule 7 to 9 days, but of course you can also walk only sections and from every refuge you can descend down in the valley. However, the Lechtal Alps are characterised by bizar rocks, rugged peaks and a marking landscape as well as idyllic mountain lakes, in other words a perfect place for hiking.

Moreover there are a range of refuges spread all over the mountain range, which are connected by the Lechtal hiking trail, snaking in an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 m: Stuttgarter Hütte (2,310 m), Leutkirchner Hütte, Kaiserjochhaus (2,310 m), Ansbacher Hütte (2,376 m), Augsburger Hütte (2,350 m), Würtemberger Haus (2,220 m), Steinseehütte (2,061 m), Hanauer Hütte, Muttekopfhütte and Anhalter Hütte refuge. However, as the Lechtal hiking trail is partly rather demanding, you should be sure of step, especially in higher altitudes.
