The Wattener Lizum and the hike along the Zirmweg
The Wattentaler Lizum also known as Wattener Lizum is located at the eastern end of the Wattental valley, which branches off from the Lower Inn valley at Wattens. The term Lizum is closely related to alpine pasture and indeed, several alpine pastures can be found in the Wattener Lizum.
The hike along the Lizumer Zirmweg
The ancient Lizumer Zirbenweg or "Zirmweg" leads on the eastern side of the valley along the Lizumerbach to Melang. The path continues over alpine meadows to the Innerlannalm (1.684 m). For the next 300 metres in altitude the Zirmweg climbs up the beautiful Swiss stone pine forest to the Lizumerhütte in the Wattental (2,019 m). The valley impresses with its fantastic flora and fauna. The blossom of the Alpine roses in June is a particularly highlight of the hike.
This hike is part of the three crystal hikings in our region. Check out our hiking map with the stamp stations in particularly interesting places. There you will find detailed information about our three available crystals: the Hall valley salt crystal, the rock crystal of the Tuxer Alps and the sparkling Swarovski crystal. For each collected stamp you get the respective crystal as a souvenir for free at the Hall tourist office.
