Similar to the White Ring for skiers, Lech also has the Green Ring for hikers: a circuit through the mountains around the three villages of Lech, Zürs, and Zug. I have picked out a few highlights from this Green Ring over the past few days.

My hikes along the Green Ring: First leg in green, from Zürsersee via the Madlochjoch (first part of the second leg) and on to Spuller Lake in red, third stage (with ascent via the Zugerbergbahn cable car) in blue
This brings an end to the series of free advertisements for Austria Tourism to promote hiking holidays in Austria; tomorrow I am returning back to Vienna.
