Ausflugsziele in Vorarlberg

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 attractive mountain village of Schoppernau in the inner Bregenzerwald is the workplace for those local mountain farmers, whose animals graze the valley, the woodland smallholdings and the high alpine pastures.

The rhythm of yesteryear

If you want to feel as though time has stood still, come and visit the Bizauer Obermoos. Tie your laces together, hang your walking boots around your neck, and let your bare feet rejoice in their discovery of many thousands of years of history in the life of a peat bog.

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.

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.

With a total length of 76 kilometers, the “Bregenzerache” offers many possibilities for those who love water sports. The different river sections provide a wide range of difficulty levels.

The Nature-Experience at Holdamoos, which links Au and Schoppernau, lies in the midst of a charming culture and natural landscape. At the core of Holdamoos is a 430-year-old alpine hut, which was saved from beeing sold and demolished.

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. 

A belt of moorland with rare flora runs for several kilometres across the entire mountain ridge at an altitude of 1,000 metres to the north of the village of Sulzberg.
