Höhenprofil
A leisurely and scenic hike in the cradle of the Montafon. Hike at Bartholomäberg on the historic paths and learn about the settlement history of the Montafon.
On this route, which starts at Bartholomäberg, the sun balcony of the Montafon, you move in historic terrain. On your route, you pass the St. Anna Tunnel. It is already more than 1,000 years old. During a guided tour, you have the opportunity to walk through it and descend up to 115 meters deep. Other highlights of this route are undoubtedly Fritzensee and Rellseck. The almost kitschy Fritzensee with its Maisäß settlement invites you to linger. If someone has a snack with them, there is hardly a better place to consume it. If you are not very hungry yet, Rellseck is also suitable for this. Both times you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view. At the beginning and at the end of your route, you have the opportunity to visit the oldest and impressive church at Bartholomäberg.
The mountain breakfast at the Alpengasthaus Rellseck is highly recommended. The Baroque church Bartholomäberg – it is considered one of the most remarkable churches in Vorarlberg.

Directions
The start is the church at Bartholomäberg. (1087 m) Here also begins directly the first ascent towards the historic mine (the highlight of the route). Initially still on the paved road, after the third hairpin bend, you turn from Roferweg onto a hiking trail. This trail frequently crosses the paved road and finally leads you to the historic mine. When you reach the historic mine (1,320 m) after about 50 minutes, you have already completed the majority of the ascent.
From the mine, it continues to Fritzensee, which is truly a place of longing with a fantastic view into the Rätikon of the Drei Türme and Zimba. A break to enjoy on a bench by the lake is definitely recommended. Then it continues towards Rellseck. There you reach the highest point of the route, 1,495 m. The Alpengasthaus Rellseck is located at 1,500 meters and is worth a visit at any time of year. Due to its unique location, it is considered one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Montafon. From Legi, you now return to the church at Bartholomäberg.
