Waalweg UmhausenPhoto: Ötztal
The hike begins at the Bischoffsplatz parking lot. To the right of the Kneipphäusl snack station, the path leads up into the Tauferberg forest. At the top, a flat path branches off to the left – you are on the Waalweg. Directly beside the flat high path runs a small stream, which was formerly used to irrigate the fields. You can also find one or two waterwheels here. Follow the path until you reach the normal road again, which leads back to the starting point.
