The Glingabrunnen is one of the most impressive natural sights in Vorarlberg. It consists of countless springs that are fed via underground inflows directly from the Brandner Glacier ( komoot.com/de-de/highlight/2577120 ) and allow the water to bubble up out of the earth at the Glingabrunnen. The water falls down the valley in beautiful cascades and joins the Palüdbach. However, this natural spectacle can only be observed when the glacier melts between mid-May and mid-October.

Due to climate warming and the ever-increasing melting of the glacier, the Glingabrunnen will no longer be supplied with meltwater in the foreseeable future.

The Glingaweg leads directly along the Palüdbach. A super beautiful hiking trail leads over hill and dale. We recommend.
