Lifeline Taugl in Bad Vigaun
An exciting circular hike along the Taugl from the wide gravel field to the gorge-like narrowing at the Römerbrücke and back via the Tauglmauth.
Depending on weather conditions and season, the wild river Taugl repeatedly causes surprises. After longer dry spells, the wide lower course appears completely dry, but the massive impact banks shortly before show that things can get really foamy and wild here. For a handful of life artists, these are exactly the right conditions. The river plover uses the dry period to lay eggs in the gravel, and special grasshopper species have also retreated here. These zones have a temporary access ban between April 1 and July 31. Nevertheless, there is enough to see along the paths. Good conditions for successful observation in the Natura 2000 wild river landscape Tauglgries are plenty of time, good binoculars, or the guided tours taking place during the summer season (meeting point Tourism Office Bad Vigaun.

Directions
From the Bad Vigaun - Tauglmauth bus stop, the signposted path 6 leads in fifteen minutes first on a forest path then along the driveway through the motorway underpass to the start of the nature trail „Lifeline Taugl“. Past an original playground, it goes to a viewing platform, then the path narrows. The terrain with house-sized conglomerate rocks forces charming little detours. At the so-called Römerbrücke, which was only built in 1631, the path crosses to the other bank and follows, past the access points to the unique natural swimming area, the municipal road for 1 km to a fork. Path 6 turns right into Kullergasse, another fork follows after 300 m. Path 6 stays on Kullergasse, but much more attractive is the alternative route branching right, shown on maps but unfortunately no longer continuously marked, via Rehrlweg. This beautiful path passes left of the cluster of houses, crosses meadows and woods, and finally runs along the works premises of the company Haba-Beton back to the Tauglmauth bridge.
