リーフェンスベルクでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

At the border between Germany and Austria near Vorarlberg, only an inconspicuous border stone or sign separates the two countries – often in the middle of meadows, forests, or across alpine pastures. With a single step, you cross into the other country, while before you unfolds a view of Lake Constance, the Rhine Valley, or the Nagelfluhkette mountain range. A quiet yet special spot offering a genuine sense of the border on your hike.

The Hochwies Inn (1,225 m) enjoys a scenic location overlooking the valley and is an ideal stop for refreshments on hikes in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park. Relax on the terrace or a bench while enjoying views of meadows, forests, and the surrounding peaks. It's the perfect place to rest after a climb before continuing your hike across the alpine pastures.

Along the Alpine Adventure Trail, the "Soil Structure in the Valley" station explains what's happening beneath your feet – from humus and roots to stones and watercourses. Informative panels and models show why healthy soil is so important for alpine meadows, forests, and the entire valley. It's the perfect place for a short learning break before continuing your hike through the mountain landscape.

From here, a wide view opens up into the Lanzenbach valley with its meadows, farms, and gently rising slopes all around. On clear days, you can follow the valley for a considerable distance and clearly see the staggered hills. Ideal for a short panoramic stop to catch your breath, take photos, and get your bearings.

The Hörmoos herb garden is a large, lovingly landscaped garden with many wild herbs, all clearly and comprehensively labeled. During your stroll, you'll learn a great deal about the plants, their properties, and uses. In this pleasant setting, you can take your time, look around, read the information, and, depending on availability, discover suitable herbal products or spirits.

From the valley station at Hochhäderich, you have a beautiful view across to the Imberg with its gentle meadow slopes and ski lifts. This gives you an immediate feel for the surrounding touring area and the altitudes that await you. Ideal for a quick panoramic moment before you set off yourself towards the Nagelfluhkette mountain range.

From here you have a beautiful view of the Bruder Klaus Chapel, nestled peacefully amidst meadows and hills. The small church adds a striking accent to the landscape and is an ideal subject for photographs. A perfect spot for a short break before continuing your hike.

The Stone Gate in the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park is a striking rock formation through which the path leads like a natural rock portal. Between the steep walls, you'll experience a true alpine and adventure feeling before the path opens up again. It's an ideal photo opportunity and a short highlight stop on your hike.
