A huge rockslide after the last Ice Age was the origin of today's highly idyllic nature preserve of Achstürze-Piburger See. The hiking tour travels from Sautens along Ötztaler Ache brook to the white waters of the "Achstürze" mountain brook falls. Cross the river on the exciting Wellerbrücke bridge, then continue to the wildly rugged "Fairytale Forest" with giant boulders. The path leads up to lovely lake Piburger See - a true natural gem. Return via Seejöchl to Haderlehn and back to Sautens.
