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.

In a fairytale forest, at the entrance to Sibratsgfäll, lies the idyllic natural moor bath.

The Au outdoor pool is furnished with solar heating and the water temperature is kept a more or less constant 24 C. Those who’d like to swim laps can take advantage of the lanes in the 25-m pool. In the kids’ pool close by, bubble jets ensure fun for little ones.
