rustic mountain village
During your holiday in Stanzach you should not miss the chance to visit the small alpine village Fallerschein. The romantic mountain village is the largest inhabited alpine village in Austria and lies with over 40 log cabins in the midst of lush and steep mountain meadows at approx. 1,300 m. Two snack stations invite you to stop and spoil hikers with traditional Tyrolean home cooking.
Highlight: In summer 1x weekly guided hike to the largest alpine village in Austria with a stop at Michl's Fallerscheinerstube (seasonal)
Klimmbrücke in Elmen
A welcome and informative stopover for cyclists and hikers is the Nature Park House of the Tyrolean Lech Valley located on the Klimm Bridge. From the middle of the bridge near Elmen you have a beautiful view of the wide riverbed of the Lech, probably the last untamed wild river of the Northern Alps. The building is home to the nature park administration and informs visitors about the peculiarities as well as rare animals and plants of this unique natural landscape.
in Vorderhornbach
An extremely interesting place to visit lies hidden near Martinau: the largest occurrence of lady's slipper in Europe! Up to 6000 specimens of this magnificent orchid thrive here in close proximity to many lilies of the valley. There are small paths across the grounds, so that you can stroll extensively through the wide flowering areas in the shady forest. During the flowering period from the end of May to mid-June, a sea of yellow stretches out before your eyes and you discover an even more beautiful specimen with every step you take.
