Discover Hinterbichl

Hinterbichl combines varied paths, nearby Frauensee and special encounters with the regional landscape. Those looking for a holiday apartment for their stay can choose the Lechweg’s Stage 14, the Wängle–Lechaschau–Höfen circular trail, excursions by the water, cycling tours and a walk with llamas or alpacas. The village also has a cultural highlight: Hinterbichl Chapel is protected as a historic monument by ordinance.

Hiking trails for different daily itineraries

The Lechweg leads from Frauensee downhill towards Lechaschau, in the district of Hinterbichl. This makes it possible to include the village in a hiking plan along this trail. Stage 14 of the Lechweg is classified as moderate to challenging because of the trail leading to Costarius Chapel. This classification is important for planning your day if you are looking for a route with a challenging section and want to take the difficulty of a hike into account in advance.

Another option is the Wängle–Lechaschau–Höfen circular trail. It leads through Hinterbichl and then along the Lech embankment to the Lech riverside trail. The route described brings variety to the plan, alternating between the village area, the embankment and the riverside trail. Depending on your preferred daily itinerary, you can decide whether to focus on a section of the Lechweg or on a circular trail.

Frauensee and the Lech Cycle Path

Frauensee is located in the immediate vicinity of Hinterbichl. It is up to 40 metres deep and reaches around 24 °C in summer. These specific details make the lake a distinctive destination for anyone who would also like to plan their stay around a body of water.

The area can also be explored by bicycle. The Lech Cycle Path, which passes through Hinterbichl, is partly paved and partly gravelled. Cyclists can use the cycle bus on route 110: it runs three times a day from Reutte to Steeg and back. A special trailer can transport 38 bicycles, including e-bikes. Anyone choosing a holiday apartment and planning cycling days can take this connection into account when planning their own routes.

Chapel and animal experiences

The listed Hinterbichl Chapel adds a cultural destination to the natural experiences. It is a point of interest for travellers who are also looking for historical or locally distinctive impressions during their walks and hikes. At the end of the village of Hinterbichl, there is also the farm of Layla Herb and her family, where alpacas and llamas are kept. A walk with the animals leads through meadows and the forest.

Hinterbichl therefore offers several ways to make your holiday varied: a trail section classified as challenging, a circular route along the Lech embankment, a cycling tour with partly paved and partly gravelled sections, or a walk through meadows and forest. For families with different interests, this choice can help them plan varied days without making every activity revolve around the same type of activity.

The right accommodation for your plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Hinterbichl, it makes sense to use your planned experiences as a guide. If you mainly want to hike, the two different trail options may influence your decision. For cycling tours, the route of the Lech Cycle Path and the cycle bus services are relevant points. If water, culture or a walk with animals are the main priorities, Frauensee, the chapel and the farm with llamas and alpacas can determine the desired character of your stay. This allows you to compare accommodation not only by location, but also by the type of holiday you would like to spend in Hinterbichl.
