HOLZGAUTHE HIDDEN PEARL

Thanks to its wonderful location and picturesque village, Holzgau is rightly considered the hidden pearl of Lechtal.

Holzgau is situated at 1,103 m above sea level and has still preserved its rural character today. Nestled into a varied and mostly still unspoilt alpine landscape, this is the perfect setting for a successful holiday in Lechtal – as well as a contrast to city life and plenty of space for peace and quiet and pure nature for anyone in need of a holiday.

Stay with us at the Posthotel Lechtal and be inspired by the idyllic village, because the many splendidly painted houses give the village its special charm!

As part of the new “Lechweg”, the Holzgau suspension bridge opens up many new opportunities to explore the magical hiking region around the sunny slopes on the Gföllberg and the sunny plateau on the Schiggenberg combined with the Höhenbachtal and impressive Simms waterfall.

Lechtal herb witches

The origin of our herb witches comes from a course by the Ländliches Fortbildungsinstitut, where all kinds of interesting facts about herbs and medicinal plants had to be learned. The Lechtaler Kräuterhexen (Lechtal herb witches) association was then created as part of the final project. Since then, the herb witches have been burning to pass on their profound knowledge to all nature lovers in courses, on herb walks through the region and in workshops. Today, a lot is mixed, tried out and passed on in the kitchens of the Lechtaler Kräuterhexen, which is why the products with the Lechtaler Kräuterhexen label attest to high and valuable quality.
