    The Wädletobel trail offers interesting facts and 800 years of history that can be experienced above Klösterle am Arlberg. The centrepiece of this educational trail is the "Wäldletobelschlucht" gorge, which was made accessible in 1997 via a footbridge.

    Starting right from the tourist office in Klösterle am Arlberg, follow the road—which is still paved at first—toward the Engel Inn and Restaurant. Before the bridge, turn left up the alley. Follow the marked hiking trail. The educational trail now leads you on toward the Wäldletobel Bridge. Once you reach the top, you can take a detour to the Kaiserstiege and the waterfall. Now enjoy the magnificent view of the “Klostertaler Bergwälder” Natura 2000 site. From here, you can take the same route back, or you can follow the trail into the valley toward the “Hof” property and hike from there back to the center of Klösterle am Arlberg.
