    The Breitenberg is located at the northernmost end of the Hohenems municipality and, together with the First massif, dominates the municipality of Dornbirn. The highest elevation is about 2900 m as the crow flies from the center of the city of Dornbirn and about 1700 m, separated by the furrow of the falling stream, from the mountain station of the Karrenseilbahn.

    Behind the Breitenberg (seen from Dornbirn), directly next to it, between Staufen, Bocksberg and Schöner Mann, lies the Alpe Schuttannen (1148 m above sea level) on a plateau, which is home to a very rare natural monument, an old hawthorn bush can be found, which has grown together into a tree.

      The Breitenberg is up to 1105 m above sea level. A. high mountain massif in the far west of the Bregenzerwald Mountains, which rises from the Vorarlberg Rhine Valley.

      The Breitenberg consists essentially of limestone and has steep cliffs rising over 600 m. The rock is unstable and large rockfalls have occurred in the past. A fully automatic warning and information system was therefore installed in some areas (geophones, anchor load cells, extensometers, fissurometers) and there is also a collecting basin and special protection and construction prohibition zones below the Breitenberg, as the so-called “Yellow Wall” in particular is considered to be in particular danger of demolition.
