Stand-up dreams come true in the Lech. The Tyrolean mountain backdrop is gigantic, the river thrilling but not too difficult. The unspoilt whitewater river invites you to river adventures from Bach (for experts also from Steeg). From the Häselgehr campsite, you can take the shorter and easier, but scenically marvellous route through the gravel bank landscape (21 km) to just before Reutte (Weißenbach). The tour ends under the Rieden bridge on the right. Either you have a second car at your destination or you can take the bus back (long journey).
Approach: From Kempten to Reutte and up the valley to Bach (Steegen). Camping in Häselgehr: Camping Rudi ( www.lechtal-camping-rudi.at ). Info: www.fun-rafting.at
