Duringweg - Längenfeld

The hike starts at the Nature Park House in Oberlängenfeld. You walk towards Aqua Dome, cross the Ötztaler Ache and continue to the Pestkapelle. Follow the hiking trail towards Oberrieder Stabele and soon turn valley-inwards onto the Duringweg. The viewpoint "Teufelskanzel" is just a short detour. Along the way, original signposts, sparkling water features over rocks, and beautiful views of the Längenfelder valley basin surprise you. First gently, then a bit steeper, you descend into the Astlehn district to then hike downstream along the bank of the Ötztaler Ache to the Aqua Dome. From the Aqua Dome, you walk back through the village of Längenfeld to the Nature Park House.

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing is required for all hikes and routes. It is necessary to bring a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without the possibility of stopping for refreshments.
