Ausflugsziele in Vorarlberg

On the estate of the Metzler family in Egg, visitors can see the production of natural cosmetics in a new building with a visitors' gallery in addition to the show barn where cows and goats live.

Enjoying a sunny, peaceful spot beside the Mellenbach stream, the Mellau swimming pool is the perfect place for water lovers to spend a fine summer day.

Where would you find a better place for a ski museum than in the snowiest village in the world? Enough said! The exhibition in the rectory encompasses 130 years of Vorarlberg skiing history as well as the history of ski racing in Vorarlberg.

Alpe Wildmoos is located in Bezau, at the foot of the Winterstaude at 1400 metres above sea level and is easily accessible by the "Bezau" cable car. We manage the alp with 30 cows and process the milk according to old tradition to alp mountain cheese, butter, curd and yoghurt.

The siblings Merbot, Diedo and Ilga, who descended from the count, left their home and riches behind and dedicated themselves to the Christianization of the Bregenzerwald in the service of the Mehrerau Abbey. Ilga said goodbye to her brothers one last time on the Lorena Pass, and they wept.

Along the Felder Trail, which leads from Hinterhopfreben to Schoppernau, panels with quotations from the work of Franz Michael Felder point out important aspects of his life.

The "Schollamoos" is located in the immediate vicinity of the centre of Alberschwende. In the past, peat was extracted from this moor. Today, a well-maintained walking path leads through the birch forests and the moor area. 

The mountain lake can be comfortably reached on foot from the Fontanella Säge bus stop in about 30 minutes. The slightly ascending and descending, low-traffic, asphalted road (access by car only permitted for residents) leads past the houses of Garlitt and on to the Seewaldseetobel.

Easy walking or hiking trail along the energy portals in Langenegg. At the end, the path still leads across the beautiful "Nord" nature reserve, a well-preserved moorland landscape with large areas of raised bog and fen.

Thematical trail along the Bolgenach in Hittisau as far as the Engenlochschlucht with its overhanging cliff formations.
