The Lech, the Lechtal Cycle Path and historic churches offer a range of themes for a trip to Steeg. Those interested in outdoor activities can explore watersports, cycling and routes through the landscape; culture enthusiasts will find churches and chapels with specific historical connections. Herb offerings and the Aqua Nova leisure pool round out the options. This lets you plan your stay around your interests, rather than combining every offering into a set itinerary.

Out and about on the Lech and its trails

The Lech is navigable for watersports from Steeg to Weißenbach. Before setting out, check which access points are permitted and what seasonal rules apply. The water route offers a distinct focus alongside cycling and hiking.

Steeg is the start and finish of the Lechtal Cycle Path. The section from Steeg to Reutte is well signposted and runs through the landscape of the Lechtal Nature Park region. Before setting off, it is advisable to check the trail conditions and signage.

Pimig is Steeg’s local mountain and reaches 2,406 metres. For a walk, an uphill forest road leads from Steeg to the district of Ebene and offers views. A hiking route from Steeg runs through the flower- and herb-rich Bockbachtal valley, via Birchetsgump and to the Postalm, Almwirtschaft Bockbach and Gams Vroni snack stations. This gives you a choice between a route with an ascent and views, and a valley landscape with three named snack stations. Trail conditions vary by season; check them before your hike.

In Steeg, right by the Lech and a waterfall, there is a natural Kneipp facility where you can refresh and relax. The Aqua Nova leisure pool offers wellness as well as fun for children and families. Opening arrangements may vary by season; check the operating period before your visit.

Churches and history

The Roman Catholic parish church in Steeg is dedicated to Saint Oswald. Like the war memorial chapel, it is a listed monument. From 1401, the church in Steeg was a subsidiary of the parish church in Holzgau. A chapel in Steeg was first mentioned in a document in 1570 and enlarged in 1687. In Hägerau, a hamlet within the municipality of Steeg, stands the Baroque church of the parish curacy, built in 1729. The history of the churches thus extends from the church’s affiliation with Holzgau in the 15th century to the Baroque church of the parish curacy in the 18th century.

Cheesemaking and herb offerings

The Lechtaler Naturkäserei Sojer is located in the centre of Steeg. If you are planning a group visit, check the arrangements in advance.

Herb offerings include informative workshops and guided hikes with herb educators. There are two formats centred on herbs: the workshop and the guided hike. Dates for individual programmes may vary; check which period suits your trip.
