Ausflugsziele in Vorarlberg

It’s enormous, the Üble Schlucht with its steep cliffs, gushing waterfalls and bizarre limestone rock formations through which the River Frutz forges its path.

Ibexes clamber precariously over the rocks, the grunting of wild boars is to be heard not far away while a marmot whistles in the distance. The mouflon ram raises its curved horns, red deer, hares, goats and pot-bellied pigs continue to feed undisturbed.

Several forest paths with a nature trail that are also suitable for prams lead through the Wildpark (Wildlife Park) on the Ardetzenberg in Feldkirch.

The unbridled force of nature in a delightful setting

The zoo of the firm of Doppelmayr in Wolfurt has been home to more than 400 animals from more than 70 species since 1963. The family-friendly facility is open all year round and visitors may enjoy an approximately hour-long walk there for free.

The Rappenloch and Alploch gorges are among the largest gorges in Central Europe.

Curlews, black-tailed godwits, even corn crakes have found a home in the marsh that is the Lauteracher Ried. As have larks, stonechats and whinchats that have long since died out elsewhere.

The lakes that are the Paspels Seen, a favourite bathing spot for many locals, are to be found in Rankweil. Around 20 hectares of lake were created for recreation here – including swimming and angling.
