TIP Trip Tirol ➤ Gaicht-Pass Panorama road

💚 The Tannnheimer federal road B 199 leading over the Gaichtpass connects Weißenbach (SO) in the Lechtal with Nesselwängle in the Tannheimer Tal (NW). The Gaichtpass – already an important trade route in the Middle Ages – is a so-called valley or bottleneck, whose "summit" is located in the gorge-like Weißenbachtal. The original route, which used to run along the valley floor and only in the northern part on the mountainside, is no longer (legally) passable today. The current route passes the bottleneck on the northeastern valley flank, about 150 m above the valley floor.

💚 The Gaichtpass has been crossed by people for centuries. The first road was already built by the Romans and expanded in the Middle Ages as an important trade route for the transport of wine and salt. The first modern route was created at the beginning of the 20th century and expanded in 1957. 💚 Today, it presents itself under the name Tannheimer Straße B199 as well-developed and connects the Tannheimer Tal with Weißenbach am Lech over 24 kilometers. The original mountain pass road was located about 150 meters lower in the valley floor in earlier times. You can get a view of the old road from the Gemstol bridge. It is no longer allowed to be driven today.

💚 If you turn left towards Reutte, don't make the mistake of blindly following the heavily used main road, but after several hundred meters turn right over the Lech bridge and follow the narrow country road through the Lech meadows via Rieden to Reutte.
