Quelltuff Lingenau

Highlight • Natural Monument

A great natural jewel in our home - the source tuff! Wooden stairs and footbridges lead us through this wonder of nature. Over time, moss, stalks and grass are petrified by the calcareous water that runs down untamed.

We had a fantastic Wednesday hike with 32 hikers from the Hohenems Alpine Club. The weather was kind to us. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks at the Traube Inn in Lingenau. Thanks to the manager, Judith, and our waitress, Petra.
