Auenfeld

The Auenfeld was once inhabited throughout the year and is a region steeped in history, which keeps many secrets about the population of the Tannberg area. Today, numerous alps can be found along the Auenfeld and beautiful footpaths connect the Walser villages of Schröcken, Warth and Lech.

Varied topics are on the agenda: a hiking tour combined with visiting the alpmuseum, herbal hiking tour, visiting an alpine dairy, border-crossing hiking tours, around the "Karhorn group" and other historic and botanic topics. Water represents an important topic in our tours: for example, the "Walser-Wasser-Weg" footpath. That is an easy hiking tour with lots of interesting historic information. The 3-hour tour starts at the Landsteg in Schröcken, the border between the Bregenz Forest and the Hochtannberg. Then, the path leads along the Bregenzerache river, which rises in the Auenfeld and disembogues into the Rhein, to the Felle alp and to the glacial mill.

After crossing the Bregenzerache river, the path leads to the first alpine museum of Vorarlberg, the uf m Tannberg alpmuseum, next to the Batzen alp. Then, your guide will lead you to the Körbersee lake (1,675m), which invites visitors to have a rest.
