    The path shows how the landscape is enclosed by mountain streams and how much influence they have on the lives of the Montafon people. The shady path leads from the valley station of the Golmerbahn along mountain streams through light mixed forest, to mountain stream barriers, gorges, and roaring ravines, over bridges and to small waterfalls.

    On this hike you feel the fascination of the mountain streams. Whether at eroded gorges, small waterfalls, bridges, mountain stream barriers, or roaring “ravines” immerse yourself in the world of falling water. Due to the path through the shady forest and the proximity to the cooling water, this hike is a great way to escape the summer heat, especially on hot summer days.

    At some points, you can cool off directly with the cold water from the mountains.

  • Directions

    Starting at the valley station of the Golmerbahn Vandans, the hiking trail leads along the toboggan run (in winter) to the wayside shrine “Granna”. Along a narrow hiking trail, the path snakes near the Aualatschbach stream to the Landschisott district. After briefly leaving the forest, the route continues on the right-hand side with a steady rise and fall along the mountain above Vandans. Further intermediate destinations are Mularintsch and Mansaura before reaching the Rellsbach stream. From this very distinctive mountain stream, follow the stream path downhill back to the starting point at the Golmerbahn valley station.
