View of Nenzing

Highlight • Viewpoint

The first recorded permanent settlement from the Bronze and Iron Ages is on the Scheibenstuhl west of Nenzing. Later, the Romans built a fortification and defense system against the Alemanni.

The Knights of Ramschwag, who came from the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, built the Welsch-Ramschwag castle complex between 1270 and 1290. The castle and the Welsch-Ramschwag castle estate came to Austria as a fief in 1360.

Finally back in beautiful Vorarlberg!🙃
It started with fog, unfortunately the sky never opened up. Otherwise the view over the valley would be wonderful.
But "colleague rain" was on my trail again... slowly he's getting annoying...🙄
Although mystical foggy pictures go well with the season anyway🍁🍂🕸🍄
Think positive 🙏
