The Plansee, located about 7 km as the crow flies southwest of the Ammersattel, is connected by a canal built in 1908, about 300 m long, with the Heiterwanger See, which originally lay about 68 cm higher, from which it, along with the additional inflows Spießbach and Torsäulenbach, derives its water. To the northwest, the Plansee has an outflow through the so-called Little Plansee and via the Archbach to the Lech.
Reutte's geographical location makes it an ideal starting point for hikes of all levels of difficulty. From relaxed walks along the Lech river to challenging mountain tours on the nearby peaks - everyone will find their perfect route here.
Particularly worth seeing is the famous Ehrenberg castle ruin, which towers high above the valley and offers a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. Here you can not only enjoy historical flair, but also take part in guided tours or try out the high ropes course.
Another highlight is the Lechtal-Reutte nature park region with its numerous lakes and waterfalls and the Hohe Tauern National Park. Both offer countless hiking opportunities through idyllic valleys and alpine landscapes.
