Attention: The way presented here is not an official hiking or mountain trail and is not regularly maintained, so follow-ups only at your own risk.

And of course only suitable for absolutely vertigo-free and sure-footed hikers!

Especially since the backups - if any - rather brand self-made and not really very confidence-inspiring.

Apart from that: Historic rock path high above the Dornbirner Ach up to the Spätbach-Alpe. Sensationally varied and adventurous, if quite short.

Is in principle actually an alpine trail - albeit a self-built ;-)

The entry to the path is not easy to find.
In addition one must not overlook the branch upwards direction Alpe from Dornbirn, since afterwards the ropes are not maintained any longer and one stands in front of a wire rope bridge.

Surefootedness and a head for heights are mandatory!

The original Wassermannweg was not short because it went all the way to the Schanerloch water intake.
That was a short connection from the Schanerloch to the Ebensand compensation reservoir.
See wiki entry about the Ebensand power plant!
(The water is collected at the "Schanerloch", where it is diverted via a nearly two-kilometer-long headrace tunnel to the equalizing reservoir and then fed to the powerhouse via the approximately 450-m-long penstock. Electricity is generated by two sets of Pelton turbines.
You can also find material about it in the Dornbirn writings in the city archive!
The path still exists, of course, and we (the Dorabirar family) walked it recently.
You don't necessarily have to cross the rope bridge, because it's a daring one afterwards
There is an entrance, which rejoins the path a little behind the rope bridge.
We know the one who made this path passable again and therefore also know this entrance behind the rope bridge.
Since the path keeper had a serious accident there years ago and can no longer maintain the path himself, we don't know if this path is still maintained by anyone.
In any case, you can see that fuses that have not yet been installed have been prepared.
In any case, many ladders, footbridges and ropes have been installed here.
In any case, there are always signs attached which warn against further
to go.
Considering that, it was quite a harkiri action because of the fuses
cannot be trusted conditionally.
In any case, the short version is a rather easy exercise in relation to this.
There is also a nice access path to the former at the leveling tunnel!
I am only reporting this so that the original meaning of this path connection becomes visible.
I myself will probably not commit this route again because it is in view of me
the unsafe maintenance as too dangerous.
