Vitality of the moor

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 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.

The starting point of the cave tour is the car park in Schönenbach. After a 30-minute leisurely hike on the Schönenbach circular path, we reach the turn-off to the cave. From here, it is now a short distance of 200 metres in altitude to overcome to the imposing entrance portal of the snail cave.

Numerous stations on the path, a forest room, an upland moor and a natural area are part of this thematic trail through the Rotenberg forest in Lingenau.

Above Schwarzenberg there is a small outdoor pool that packs a big punch - with fantastic views this is the sunniest and most peaceful spot around!

Alp Stafel is located at 1,540 m above sea level and can be reached in about 30 minutes on foot from the Faschina car park. Here you can buy mountain cheese as well as milk and fresh alpine butter.

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.

“This mountain pasture (‘alp’) has been preserved just as it was when it was once inhabited and cultivated. One could move back in there tomorrow and begin making cheese again.”
