The route along the edge of the Alpine Rhine Valley offers relatively quiet roads and more beautiful scenery than the main valley running parallel.

Replica of the Montfort mountain ruins. You can park here for a hike or simply drive by.

The Construction History of Tostner Castle There is a very interesting assumption about Tostner Castle that it was a large, unfinished castle complex, of which only the ring wall, dating from the end of the 12th century/beginning of the 13th century, was built. The present keep, gatehouse, and palace (possibly also outbuildings) were built into these in the second half of the 13th century. This theory is supported primarily by the truly remarkable placement of the palace, which was placed right above the ring wall and occupies a remarkable position within the castle complex. During the Appenzell Wars, which raged heavily in this region, Tostner Castle was also severely damaged in 1405, but was rebuilt after 1408. The very spacious, yet sparsely built castle complex, was abandoned before 1616 and has since fallen into disrepair. The keep was restored in 1938/39, and extensive renovations followed in 1974 and 1980.

It is beautiful here

Beautiful old walls. Good acoustics. A lovely place for smaller events!

The Tschitscher-Schlösschen residence stands next to the St. Margaretha Chapel on the Margarethenkapf. A beautiful spot can be found here.

The Margarethenkapf on the Blasenberg belonged to Tisis in terms of local politics and parish until 1897/98; it only became part of Feldkirch when the Heilig-Kreuz parcel was incorporated. It has a number of peculiarities and highlights: right at the top, as a lookout point, is the popular Feldkirch "Rädle", below it to the northeast is the stately summer villa of the former Feldkirch mayor Josef Andreas Ritter v. Tschavoll, to the northwest is the residential tower of the so-called Tschitscherschlößchen and, exposed on the steep rock face of the Kapf, the Margarethen Chapel.

Neuburg Castle Ruins, Koblach The hilltop castle is located in the middle of the Rhine Valley near the Kummenberg. Although only the extensive ruins remain today, visitors still get an impression of the former size of the fortified castle. When it was built is unknown. In a document from 1152 it is mentioned as the property of the Staufers. The oldest part of the castle is the so-called keep. It was probably built in the second third of the 12th century and was more of a fortified residential building, a tower house. An entrance carved into the rock was found at the entrance to the basement of the palace. On the top of the castle section gate, dripstones, or more precisely stalactites, have formed. These are formed from dripping water, which indicates that water is seeping through the wall above, which is not particularly good for its durability. Note: There is a special occurrence of dripstones very close to the Neuburg, in the Kalkofenhöhle. These were discovered during the construction of the motorway and unfortunately largely destroyed by unreasonable people. There is a vineyard near Neuburg. In 1685, the chronicler Prugger wrote of it: "Good wine grows there and is ripe 14 days earlier than in other places every year." A Negrelli map from the 19th century still shows that there were vines there at that time.
