Oberwössen: Find a Hotel and Discover Feldlahn-Alm

Anyone looking for a hotel in Oberwössen can consider the Feldlahn-Alm loop as a specific hiking option when choosing their stay. The village lies in an enclosed valley, separated from the Achental by a small ridge. The Wössener Bach, Kaltenbach and Tiroler Ache rivers flow through the wider municipal area.

The Feldlahn-Alm Loop

The loop starts at Hammerergraben in Oberwössen and is 6.5 kilometres long. It leads through a gorge with small waterfalls on the Hammererbach stream to the Feldlahn-Alm, which is open to visitors. The trail is easy, family-friendly and suitable for pushchairs. Service at the Feldlahn-Alm and trail conditions vary by season; check both locally before setting out. The term gorge refers to a narrow ravine. On this loop, you can experience this type of landscape along with small waterfalls on the Hammererbach before the trail reaches the Feldlahn-Alm, which is open to visitors.
