Despite the traffic, a beautiful and strenuous climb

The Roman Catholic parish church of Riezlern is located in the village of Riezlern in the municipality of Mittelberg in the Kleinwalsertal valley in the Bregenz district of Vorarlberg. It is dedicated to the Feast of the Presentation of Mary and belongs to the Vorderwald-Kleinwalsertal deanery in the Diocese of Feldkirch. The building is a listed building. The Kleinwalsertal valley was formerly a hunting ground for the bishops of Augsburg and the nobles of Rettenberg. During the Great Exodus from Tannberg around 1300, several Walser families from Valais settled there. They called their settlement "Zu den Rützlern," from which the present name Riezlern originated. The name of the church goes back to an Orthodox church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Jerusalem, which was destroyed around 560 AD. A plaque from 1471 commemorates the original church. This southeast-facing church was consecrated on August 13, 1473, by Augsburg's Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Kerer. In 1684, the church was extended and remodeled in the Baroque style. Due to traffic constraints, the church's traditional east-facing orientation was abandoned and replaced with a north-facing orientation. In 1508, Riezlern became independent of the Oberstdorf parish church and became an independent parish. In 1785, due to the great distance, the districts of Innerschwende, Außerschwende, Seite, and Egg-Mittelberg (together with 131 souls) were transferred from the Mittelberg parish to the Riezlern parish.

Beautiful crossing over the Haldenwanger Bach. Two options: a) Use the bridge or, like a pensioner, speed through the ford -> resulting in wet feet. You'll be cursed.

Beautiful city. The surrounding area is great for cycling.

The valley was settled around 1270 by Walsers, an ethnic group that migrated from the upper Valais (Switzerland). The dialect has been preserved quite well and differs significantly from its neighbors in Vorarlberg and Allgäu. With its approximately 5,000 inhabitants, the valley is divided into three villages: Riezlern, Hirschegg & Mittelberg with Baad. The Kleinwalsertal covers an area of 97 km². It is about 15 km long and about 6.5 km wide

The Riezlers built a chapel as early as 1471, which was modified in 1491, three altars were set up and a cemetery was built, and on August 13, 1493, the consecration took place, i.e. Holy Mass could be celebrated and the dead could be given to the consecrated ground in Riezlern. The full tithe still had to be paid to the mother church in Oberstdorf. A contemporary manuscript reports - "But these burdens were also borne in the joyful satisfaction of at least no longer having to be buried outside in Oberstdorf." On October 21 (St. Ursula's Day) 1508, the time had come and Riezlern was separated from Oberstdorf. After two chaplains, Johannes Vogler was appointed as the first pastor in Riezlern, the young parish area included around 200 communicants. The number of churchgoers increased significantly in the following years, as more and more people from the nearby plots of Zwerwald, Seite, Egg, Innerschwende and Ausserschwende went to Riezlern for church services to avoid the long journey to Mittelberg. This meant that the church had to be expanded again and again, which was also done in 1684 and 1720. In 1785, Zwerwald and in 1789 Seite, Egg and Schwende became part of the Riezlern parish. In 1820, the Riezlern parish was separated from the Augsburg diocese and, together with the former Konstanz parishes of Mittelberg and Hirschegg, became part of the Brixen diocese.

The Walmendingerhorn cable car takes hikers up the mountain or into the valley in around five and a half minutes. The ride up is not cheap, but it is worth it. It is not for nothing that the Walmendinger Horn, at 1990 m, is also called the mountain of the senses. From the summit you can enjoy a wonderful 360-degree panoramic view of the three countries. At the mountain station at almost 1946 m, a viewing platform with a glass elevator offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the two-country corner and up to the peaks of the Swiss Confederation.
