The Lechweg leads from Frauensee downhill toward Lechaschau, in the district of Hinterbichl. For a stay in Hinterbichl, this provides a specific starting point for planning: Which hiking or cycling routes would you like to explore, and which local details would you also like to make room for? Alongside the trails, nearby Frauensee, Hinterbichl Chapel and a walk with llamas and alpacas described in 2024 cater to different interests. When looking for a vacation apartment, you can therefore choose a place based on the focus of your stay, rather than considering only the overnight accommodation.
Hiking: route and difficulty
The Wängle–Lechaschau–Höfen loop runs through Hinterbichl and then along the Lech embankment to the Lechuferweg. Its sequence of trails provides a clear reference point if you are planning a loop through named places and sections. Stage 14 of the Lechweg differs in that it has a specified difficulty rating: Because of the steep path to Costarius Chapel, it is rated moderate to challenging. The comparison therefore concerns two different questions—which route interests you, and whether the stated difficulty of Stage 14 is relevant to your choice of tour. This keeps the rating specific to that stage.
Cycling
The Lech Cycle Path runs through Hinterbichl and is paved in some sections and gravel in others. This change between asphalt and gravel is a specific factor to consider when choosing a route. Cyclists on the Lech Cycle Path can also use the number 110 bike bus: It runs three times a day from Reutte to Steeg and back. With a special trailer, it can carry 38 bicycles, including e-bikes. If you would like to factor in the bus connection, check the timetable and fares separately. This lets you consider the route and the possibility of taking a bicycle on the bus separately when planning; the information answers different questions.
Frauensee and the chapel
Frauensee is very close to Hinterbichl. It is up to 40 metres deep and reaches around 24°C in summer. The depth figure indicates a maximum, while the temperature is an approximate summer value—two different points of reference for getting a sense of the lake. In Hinterbichl, the chapel adds a point of cultural and historical interest to the landscape and trails. It is protected as a historic monument under an official decree; the entry in the Federal Monuments Authority’s register is dated 28 May 2024. This allows you to consider landscape and cultural history as separate interests during your stay.
A walk with llamas and alpacas
A regional article dated 19 June 2024 describes the farm at the end of Hinterbichl village, run by Layla Herb and her family, where alpacas and llamas are kept. The same article describes a walk with the animals through meadows and woodland. This offers a different kind of nature experience from hiking the Lechweg: Here, the animals and the shared walk take centre stage. If you would like to include this activity in your stay, check in advance whether it is currently available.
