Picture-book idyll in the fairytale forestIt happened some 10,000 years ago. Still today hikers can marvel at the vast rockslide area in the surroundings of Köfels. The giant basin of Längenfeld was formed by huge amounts of water, rubble and ice. Its nearby rockslide forest is interspersed with enormous granite rocks and boulders. Can you feel the icy breath of air coming from deep inside the ravines and gorges? Of course, there is also a witch cave.Magic never ends in the Fairytale Forest. Soon you will reach jade-green Lake Winkelbergsee with the three little islands sparkling in the summer sun. A true natural gem, fed by crystal clear spring water. Slightly above little explorers find a small mountain brook and water play park with mill wheels. Nature itself is the most inspiring playground.Starting point: car park next to the bridge over Ötztaler Ache near Au – WinklenWalking time, both ways: approx. 2.5 hoursDifficulty level: easyDifference in altitude: approx. 150 m
