    The Kapfweg trail from the Meschach district (750 m above sea level) in the municipality of Götzis (Vorarlberg) is a marked hiking trail (alpine trail) that leads past the Schreckkopf mountain and from there runs in a relatively straight line for about 1,600 meters, close to a limestone cliff (Schreck), to the northeast, gaining 272 meters in altitude.

      This blue / white marked alpine trail definitely requires surefootedness and a head for heights. It is sometimes quite narrow and exposed. The narrow path leads directly from the rock for a while and the view of this rock is just awesome, what I love, just like the narrow path itself.

        The entrance is a bit difficult to see because it looks more like a small rain run. This path is just terrific and a real experience. It is sometimes very steep uphill, and in some places a bit sandy. As lowland Tyroleans, we found the sticks to be extremely helpful here, so the path was easily manageable. The narrow places are always secured with rope, so there was also a mental aid. Only at the exit is a sign with a warning notice attached, which makes sense from my point of view, as the path in my opinion has a significantly increased degree of difficulty.
