Feldkirch gravel loop via Bangs and Hoher Sattel

Feldkrich - Bangs - Meiningen - Rankweil - Göfis - Feldkirch

This roughly 33-kilometre gravel loop starts at Feldkirch railway station and follows the River Ill via Bangs towards Meiningen. Passing the Bangs-Matschels European protected area, it then continues alongside the Frutz to Rankweil. Broad meadows, alluvial woodland and the riverside setting define the largely flat opening kilometres.

From Rankweil, a demanding climb leads along the partly wooded ridge of Hoher Sattel to more than 650 metres above sea level. A brisk descent then takes you to Göfis, before the route follows the Ill back into the centre of Feldkirch. This moderately difficult loop is suited to cyclists with a good basic level of fitness and some experience of varied terrain.
