Description by the author

Enjoy the captivating sights and sounds of nature on the 52-kilometre-long Lech Cycle Path leading along the banks of Europe's last untamed river. The beautiful path winds its way from Reutte to Steeg, where the Kaiserbach stream empties into the Lech river. This awesome four-day ride allows you to appreciate the stunning natural scenery and enjoy some excellent local food. The Lech river is one of the last untamed rivers in the Alps. You’ll cycle past vast shingle banks, across some of Europe’s most beautiful riverside woods, and along lush and verdant meadows. En route there is accommodation in local villages if you wish to stop off. There is a variation of the Lech Cycle Path which is suitable for wheelchair users.
Day 1: Reutte – Vorderhornbach
Distance: 24 kilometres | Total riding time: 1 hour 45 minutes
