    A nice hike at the foot of the Kanisfluh from Schnepfau to Hirschau and over the Schnepfegg return to Schnepfau.

    At the foot of the steep north face of the Kanisfluh is the alpine pasture settlement of Wirmboden with its chapel, located on a plain. You cross the Bregenzerach on the way to Hirschau. Here, you start the ascent to the tree-covered Sonnenhang with the highest points of Rosenburg and Schnepfegg (its chapel is worth avisit). You return to Schnepfau via a footpath.
