Lechweg – 2. Leg

The walk begins at the hike starting point in front of the Dorfhus. Follow the ”Bodenalpe” trail described above until you reach a narrow track that branches off sharply to the left towards Boden alpe. Stay on the wide forest path that takes you above the ”Lech canyon” to a small wooden bridge across the Lech. From here, continue upstream, first along a wagon road and later along a narrow paved road that leads to Warth town centre. The hiking bus will take you back to Lech am Arlberg from here. If you enjoyed the Lech path, you can continue along it all the way to Füssen im Allgäu.
