    It’s pleasantly cool on this hiking trail. It leads for the most part along the water and through a light-flooded forest.

    The around 300-year-old Kommabrücke, the oldest covered wooden bridge in Vorarlberg, is one of the special sights to see along the way. Hikers walk along the Bolgenach river and reach the Engenlochschlucht gorge with its overhanging rock formations. The trail crosses the Ließenbach bridge to the water-powered Bartenstein sawmill. Panels provide insights into the various aspects and uses of water – from Grander revitalised water in the swimming pool to spring water along the path to small puddles with amphibians and the remains of a huge ice-age lake.

    Tip: The hike is particularly charming in the rain but may then be slippery in places.

    Sämtliche Wanderrouten und wichtige Informationen über Bergbahnen, Hütten und Alpengasthöfe finden Sie in der Wanderkarte Bregenzerwald. Die Wanderkarte ist bei Bregenzerwald Tourismus, in den Tourismusbüros und in einzelnen Hotels erhältlich.
