    Small, largely car-free pass between Schwarzenberg and Alberschwende.

      The oldest access led from the Lorena valley (1182m).
      Rhine Valley in the Bregenzerwald. Even Celts and Romans used it
      Away probably for their hunting trips. The first settlers of the
      Bregenzerwald moved across the Lorena around the year 1000 AD. Them
      according to legend, towards the end of the 11th century the religious
      offered Merbod, Ilga and Diedo, the three blessed siblings from the
      Bregenz Grafenhaus.
      In times of war, the Lorenahöhe was also a line of defence,
      as the neighboring field name "Letze" says. Temporarily ran here
      even a state border.
      Not far from here is a mountain hut with the strange name
      "Schwedenhütte" and it happened like this: in 1647 the Swedes came
      also in the Bregenzerwald during the Thirty Years' War. As
      is told, dashing women in the forest at that time are said to have contributed to the Fallenbach
      Egg a marauding swedish troop with flails, pitchforks and
      defeated the scythes. The pigeon landlady is also there
      von Alberschwende, who considered a seriously injured Swede
      captives, nursed back to health, and then as shepherds in their
      Bèrggut used on the Lorena. He did a good job there
      and was very happy.
      Many years later he was allowed to do it with the pigeon landlady and her daughters
      for the feast of HI. Gebhard with me to Bregenz. But there it was
      Lutheran before, after having generously awarded the good Tyrolean wine
      had and of the memories of the glorious conquest of the fortress
      on the Gebhardsberg had been overwhelmed in the direction of his
      original homeland Sweden. But strange: ever
      The farther he went, the more he yearned for his
      beloved new home on the Lorena. After a long march found
      he went there again and stayed in the Lorenahütte, which has been there ever since
      "Schwedenhütte" means happy retirement.
      The German poet Wilhelm Raabe put the old Swede, the
      he called Sven Knudson Knäckabröd, in the novella Der Marsch nach
      home"
      a lovely monument.
