Hiking & mountain tour

Lader Schlossweiher to the Schöngampalm

A narrow asphalted road leads to Neuegg, then take the forest track, partly ascending, partly flat, through the forest. Stopover opportunities in Neuegg and at Schöngampalm. Mountain bike rental at Schöngampalm possible. The length of the trail (including return) should not be underestimated.

From castle pond in Ladis  (L009) walk to the village district Greit (L057), then to the Waldkapelle chapel. After 10 minutes, you reach a crossing. Go right towards to the Wodeturm tower (L030). Half right (L029) to Hochgallmig (belongs to the village of Fließ) with the Fliesser trail no. 16 (2 3/4 hrs.). Take the trail up to the left (L032), then on the flat trail through the forest to the Maisbach brook (L034), further on to the Fisser Almweg trail no. 4 (F036). On this trail you reach the Schöngampalm (F039) in about 30 minutes (to this point, 3 hrs). Shortly before the Schöngampalm, the trail turns off to the right to the Urgsee lake (F038, 20 min.) and through the scenically beautiful Urgtal valley. For tour descriptions, see Fiss hiking trails. Since the valley region is so isolated, it is recommended to use the Schönjochbahn in Fiss to reach it.

Wode bath

: Wode bath

Two-and-a-half-metre ants, four-metre worms, giant beetles – all that and more is what you’ll encounter at Wode Park. The mystical forest area surrounding the Wode bath and Wode tower harbours a story steeped in legend about a giant called Wode from the Urgtal valley. Once upon a time, he fought a magician who was favourable towards Ladis and both of them disappeared in the pond – never to be seen again. Today, visitors can explore this giant’s adventure park near Neuegg with its oversized animals and a fairy-tale flora and fauna. 

A fairy-tale adventure park in Ladis

A short power nap on the gnome lounger, a detour to the raspberry bushes in the snack garden or a game of hide and seek under the giant fly agaric! Plenty of play stops, a fairy-tale pavilion that harbours stories about Wode and a twelve-metre tower amaze the park’s young visitors. It also offers stunning views of the extensive Inntal valley – and you can even see the entrance of the Kaunertal valley!

Psst! Here’s a secret …  If you make enough noise while walking around the pond in Neuegg, the giant might lift its head from below the surface of the water!
