    Start at the Kreuzkapelle chapel in Sautens, after approx. 100 m along the road the red path branches off to the right into the forest. Beautiful hiking trail to the Tschirgantblick viewpoint. Especially recommended in spring and fall.

    Over 3000 years ago, mighty parts of the Tschirgant fell into the valley and buried the exit of the Ötztal. Today, the area is a small, unspoiled natural oasis in the otherwise intensively populated Tyrolean Inn Valley. The largely wooded area offers quiet places to linger, rich biodiversity and is shrouded in legends and myths. Circular hiking trails lead through this mystical landscape through the Sautner Forchet past exciting cultural sites (lime kiln, living cave, ...) and several educational boards about the animal kingdom and geology.

     

    How do you find your treasure? There are small caches (treasure boxes) along the marked route. You will find secret letters in each cache. Enter all the letters in your treasure map. Only those who have collected all the letters can form the solution word. With this solution word you can pick up a gift at the Oetz Information Center or at the Ötztal Infopoint!

    STARTING POINT: Parking lot at the Kreuzkapelle chapel (soccer field). IMPORTANT: Follow the path with the red triangle.
