Winter on the Uga natural toboggan run in Damüls is great fun for all the family.

Hiking trails for nature lovers

Since its formation in 1999, the Bregenzerwald Werkraum has really created a platform for itself: work produced in the Werkraum is recognised worldwide, and its talented and innovative craftsmen and women are in great demand, both at home and abroad.

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 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.

In cooperation with the Nature Park School Lingenau and the association 60+, the municipality of Lingenau and the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park developed a concept for a "museum under the open sky".

This resulted in the Natur.Museum in Dörnelstraße (directly behind the church), Lingenau.

The specialities are the goat's and cow's milk cheeses produced on the alp (as Brettljause with pesto, as a salad with balsamic vinegar or fried with bacon strips or sesame) and the fresh pancakes.

The Bregenzerwald Cheese Centre is the central marketplace for the entire selection of local cheeses produced in the Bregenzerwald region. Its aim is to provide a direct outlet, open 365 days a year, where locals and guests alike can taste and buy the cheeses.

A women's museum? And one in a rural location? The Fraunemuseum Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald (Austria) shows that both are possible – and have been for over twenty years now. It was the initiative of Elisabeth Stöckler that brought about the founding of the museum in 2000.
