Höhenprofil
Together with the Green Riddle Ring, the Lech Family Trail leads past many stations that are ideal for children.
The new Green Riddle Ring includes 14 points of interest of a playful nature on the way to the Rud-Alpe. From there, the Lech Family Trail leads through the forest of Oberlech, past the Libellensee (Dragonfly lake) to Muxelhof and its petting zoo.
First of all, the Lecher family hiking trail starts with the Green Riddle Ring. Here the whole family can prove how well you can solve puzzles. Together with the “Impossible Workbook” (available from Lech Zürs Tourismus) you will start your search for the most precious commodity on earth. At the end of the path at Rud-Alpe, there is an award, a great water playground, a fantastic sun terrace with a view over Lech and culinary delicacies. After the refreshment we continue on the flower meadows from Schlegelkopf past the 3D archery trail on the interesting forest adventure trail through the evergreen coniferous forest of Oberlech. A hidden small lake in the forest – the dragonfly lake – waits with its msystic creatures to be discovered. Afterwards you reach Oberlech and the beautiful sun terraces with refreshment facilities. At the Hotel Sonnenburg there is also a playground with climbing frame and a beautiful play stream. Just above the Hotel Goldener Berg there is another playground with trampoline and volleyball court. At the top of Oberlech, the animals are loose: Donkeys, goats, rabbits, sheep and even cows are in the petting zoo at Muxelhof. If you want, you can hike up to the small hill and enjoy the fantastic 360 degree panorama at the barbecue area. Return to Lech am Arlberg by cable car or through the Burgwald forest to Lech am Arlberg.
The ”Impossible Workbook” for the Green Riddle Ring costs € 5,– and is available in the Lech Zürs Tourist Office or from your landlord. The book is needed in order to solve the riddles and also contains useful tips for all detectives.
