    Der Lechufer Trail ab Zug ist eine ruhige, naturnahe Laufrunde für alle, die gerne entlang des Wassers unterwegs sind. Vom Ortsteil Zug führt die Strecke flussaufwärts entlang des Lech in Richtung Spullerwald. Gut laufbare, aber schmalere Wege sorgen für ein authentisches Trail-Erlebnis ohne große technische Anforderungen. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der Abschnitt beim Zusammenfluss von Lech und Spullerbach, wo du direkt über Holzstege läufst. Zurück führt der Weg auf der anderen Uferseite zurück nach Zug.

    Roadbook

    The route starts in the Zug district. From here, you run straight down to the Lech and follow the riverbank upstream towards Spullerwald. The trail runs along paths that are easy to run on, albeit narrower, offering a running experience close to nature without being technically demanding. The constant alternation between woodland sections and open stretches ensures variety, whilst the sound of the water accompanies you.

    A particular highlight of the route is the area around the confluence of the Lech and Spullerbach. Here, the path takes you across wooden walkways right through the river landscape – an impressive experience of nature and, at the same time, one of the most beautiful sections of the route. After this highlight, you’ll reach the turning point in the Spullerwald area. The return journey follows partly along the same trail and partly along the opposite bank back towards Zug, offering fresh perspectives on the Lech once again. The final few metres take you back to the Zug district at a leisurely pace.
