Madauer Höhenweg

 hiking-round
Madau is a small mountain village near the Lechtal village of Bach. The mountain village lies at 1309 m about 7 km south of Bach in the Lechtal. But politically the village Madau already belongs to the Oberinntaler municipality Zams. Madau lies in the heart of the Lechtal Alps, surrounded by some of the highest peaks of this mountain group. The most famous of these are the Parseierspitze and the Freispitze. Madau is also the starting point for numerous hiking and hut tours in the Lechtal Alps. The most famous Alpine Club huts in the vicinity are the Memminger Hut on the E5 long-distance hiking trail, the Ansbacher Hut on the E4 long-distance hiking trail and the Württemberger Haus also on the E4 long-distance hiking trail. The single-lane goods road runs on the right side of the valley at about the same height. The hike starts in Oberbach at a free parking lot. We're heading south into the forest. The first part is a bit steeper, but after a while it becomes flatter again. After some time you reach the turnoff to the Baumgartalm. Shortly afterwards, the Madauer Höhenweg also branches off towards Alperschonbach. The actual part of the hike starts here, the path becomes narrow and one immediately reaches the Madauer Gorge, which one crosses on a pedestrian bridge. The path is partly relatively narrow and partly steep passages are included. The Madauer Höhenweg requires surefootedness and should only be walked on by experienced walkers. If it rains or wet you should take the normal way to Madau, as it can get slippery. At the bridge over the Alperschonbach, the Madauer Höhenweg meets the Güterstraße. The remaining section runs along the goods road to Madau. In Madau you have the possibility to stay overnight at the mountain inn Hermine. The well-known E5 long-distance hiking trail runs past Madau from Oberstorf to Bolzano. During the summer season Feuerstein offers a scheduled oxide service between Bach and Madau. A trip currently costs 8 € or 10 € for a one-way or round trip. The exact conditions and travel times can be found on the Feuerstein homepage.
