    Bizau was home to the poet Gebhard Wölfle, much admired in the Bregenzerwald. The unofficial motto of the Bregenzerwald locals originates from him: „Meor ehrod das Ault, meorgrüoßod das Nü und blibod üs sealb und dor Hoamad trü” (“We honour the old and welcome the new, and stay true to ourselves and our native country”). This also rings true of the contemporary buildings in the village which has been awarded the main ARGE-Alp prize for modern architecture in rural areas. The jury praised the plain new buildings which fit in with the character of the village. The typical “Hag” (fence) and the bedding meadows in Bizau’s marshland are worth a visit.

    On each walk, information columns draw attention to a building, to the special features of the cultural landscape, to artisanal or ecological details, to facets of artistic, culinary or touristic works.

Follow this path as far as board 8.02, where you turn off to the left and take the asphalt path out of the valley. You pass St Josef’s chapel, where you keep to the left and, following the yellow-and-white marking, ramble out into Bizauer Feld. Once there, you see a wayside cross. Turn off to the right and return to the main road. Take the pathto the right.
