Lechaschau: Trails, Chapels and Lake Frauensee

Lechaschau offers a variety of trails, scenic impressions and historical discoveries for a diverse travel itinerary. Lake Frauensee, the Lech Cycle Path, several chapels and the connection to Reutte give the village a wide range of different facets. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Lechaschau can tailor their stay to their preferred daily rhythm: with a winter hike, a cycling tour, stops related to cultural history or an excursion to the climbing routes at Weißwand.

Winter Hike to Lake Frauensee

A clearly described route leads from Lechaschau to Lake Frauensee. The easy winter hike is 7.2 kilometres long and takes around 2.5 hours. It starts and ends at Lechaschau Parish Church. There is a car park at the parish church for the route. In addition, public parking spaces are available in the area around the church, cemetery, municipal offices, sports ground and Lake Frauensee.

The winter hike can also be reached by bus: the stop listed is “Lechaschau Gemeindeamt”. This makes it possible to take arrival and daily planning around the specific route into account without mixing the hike with other trails. In summer, Lake Frauensee is suitable for swimming and complements the winter hiking experience with a seasonal opportunity by the water.

Cycle Paths and Hiking Trails with Different Focal Points

The Lech Cycle Path passes through Lechaschau and offers an opportunity to experience the village by bicycle. For hikers, Stage 14 of the Lechweg is also of interest: it leads from Lake Frauensee towards Lechaschau, the Hinterbichl district. Both details represent different travel ideas. Depending on your personal interests, you can decide whether a cycling tour, a longer hiking connection or the shorter winter hike to Lake Frauensee will be the focus of your day.

Chapels, Historic Buildings and a View across the Valley Basin

There are also notable destinations in Lechaschau away from the trails. Ottilien Chapel has Gothic-style tracery windows. Costaries Chapel is situated on a hill on the mountain slope and offers a view across the valley basin. Franzelinhaus dates from the 16th century. Each of these three stops adds its own distinctive element: architectural details, a wide-ranging view and a historic building.

The history of the village also includes the Lech Bridge, which connects Lechaschau with Reutte. For centuries, it was an important trade route. Anyone interested in regional connections and historical traces will find another specific point of reference for planning their trip here.

Active Days and the Right Choice of Location

There are climbing routes at Weißwand. Together with the Lech Cycle Path, the hiking trails and the cultural and historical destinations, this creates a selection of different ideas for daily activities. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to include Lake Frauensee, a route, the chapels and historic sites or the climbing routes in your plans. Lechaschau offers a clearly definable starting point for this, without every activity requiring the same itinerary.
