Personal Climbing Goal in the Liegfeist GroupWith its dark, steep slopes, the sprawling massif of the Schwarzhanskarspitze towering over the lower Lech Valley is hard to miss. It is part of the Liegfeist Group and can practically be considered Forchach’s local mountain, though it doesn’t attract much attention. The long approaches through the high forest likely deter hikers. Above the forest, however, the scenery becomes truly captivating—especially, of course, near the summit, where the Lechtal mountain landscape unfolds from a stunning, rarely seen vantage point! In addition to the standard route via the Älpele, which is chosen for the ascent, there’s also the option of a meandering loop along the eastern foothills. This route is particularly appealing to the individualist who enjoys exploring secluded areas.

“Vertically” above the central Lech ValleyThe Pleisspitze, which locals also call Bleisjoch, takes its name from the term “Pleise,” a very common name for a steep grassy slope. To avoid confusion with other Pleissspitzen, we’ve given it the first name “Stanzacher.” This peak juts out toward the Lech Valley and plunges westward down an unbroken steep slope a good 1,100 meters. The view down is correspondingly spectacular! The ascent—which involves no walking on forest roads at all—does lead largely through the woods, but the trees aren’t too densely packed. This means the view opens up again and again along the way.

On one of the last wild rivers in the Alps— —near Vorderhornbach, a hill that, compared to the surrounding mountain giants, can hardly be taken seriously, stands in the way of the Lech as it rushes northward. It is the Beichlstein, also known as the Baichlstein or Baikelstein. This tiny hill—its summit doesn’t even reach the 1,200-meter mark—stubbornly deflects the rushing floodwaters, sending them surging toward the village of Stanzach, situated at the mouth of the Namlos Valley. Given its modest height, three features stand out: the rocky ridge crowned with a summit cross, rock faces on the west and east sides that drop nearly vertically in places, and an excellent view down into the valley. But before we grow fond of this endearing little hill in the woods, the leisurely snow hike through the diverse lower Lech Valley—one of the most pristine valleys in Central Europe, with extensive natural landscapes and ecosystems worthy of protection— . The atmospheric, leisurely route between the diverse mountains of the Allgäu and the Lech Valley sometimes runs directly along the Lech, one of the last unregulated rivers in the Alps. Despite centuries of bank reinforcement to protect the valley meadows, the river is allowed to flow freely and shape its course along long, near-natural stretches. The Lech constantly reshapes its landscape by transporting enormous amounts of debris, repeatedly shifting its channels, and thereby keeping a fascinating floodplain landscape alive.
The region is characterised by its diverse landscapes - from gentle hills to majestic peaks. This varied topography makes Forchach a paradise for hiking enthusiasts of all ages.
