In Roppen you reach the Inntal Cycle Path, follow it downstream. Soon you arrive at the Roman Bath, a small temple building which is worth a rest. The water coming out of the fountain is rich in minerals and famous for its healing effects. In times long past this bath was located on the old Roman Road.
A slightly descending trail takes you to the village of Haiming from where you return upstream towards Ötztal Bahnhof. Here you continue on the Ötztal Mountain Bike Trail until you get back to Oetz. Special tip: take a refreshing swim in idyllic Lake Piburger See after an adventurous mountain bike day.
