Turn-by-turn directions

The Nordic Walking route leads from the post garage up the Lech. The trail leads past the Spar supermarket in the direction of Omeshorn. At Omesberg turn left onto a wide gravel road. At the foot of the Omeshorn, the forest path leads in the direction of Gstütalpe. After about 100 metres you come to the first turn-off. But we continue and take the second turnoff to the left towards Wiesele. The path goes straight on up to the Gstütalpe and to the top of the Omeshorn, through the woods, directly along the slope. You leave the Omeshorn behind you. To the left a little further down, one sees the Zürsbach. The narrow path is surrounded by mountain pines and medium-high trees. After about 15 minutes the path makes a left turn and leads downhill towards Zürsbach. You can already see a bridge over the Zürsbach. If you cross the stream, the path continues to Zürs on the right. However, we do not cross the brook but walk along the path along the banks of the Lech back to Lech.
