Wellerbrücke

A place to recharge and let your thoughts wander. The sound of the Ötztaler Ache accompanies the hiker along the easy path that runs beside the riverbank and through the forest edge. On the wide gravel path, you’ll reach the lower viewing platform. Here, you’ll get a first glimpse of the power of the water and the ancient rockslides from thousands of years ago. The wooden bridge perfectly blends into the wooded area. Standing on the bridge, you can truly feel and experience the unstoppable force of the water. A fine mist blows into the visitor's face, and the roar of the Ache echoes in the ears. The distinctive river course was formed after a massive rockslide at the end of the last Ice Age, which redirected the original river, causing the water to carve a new path. This is how the impressive rapids were formed, which are also well-known among white-water sports enthusiasts.
