Point to point
This impressive long-distance hiking trail follows the course of one of Central Europe's last wild rivers. The trail opens up the Bavarian Lech Valley from Augsburg down to Füssen on the edge of the Alps. It runs along a varied mix of riverside floodplain forest paths, gentle moraine hills, and panoramic trails on the high banks, which offer sweeping views of the turquoise-blue ribbon of the Lech. The route is mostly easy from a technical standpoint, but requires a good level of fitness due to the length of the stages.
