The best hikes from bus stations in the Bezirk Bregenz

Great viewpoint that is easily accessible.

Easily accessible summit with great views.

A wonderfully clear mountain lake that offers refreshment, especially on warm to hot hiking days. If you undertake the circular tour to the Braunarlspitze counter-clockwise, you can treat yourself to some cooling or simply a quiet moment of relaxation after several hours of hiking. The water is easily accessible from all sides, so you can spread out well and find your own quiet spot. The stones in the shore area are quite sharp. Those who want to dip more than just their feet in the water might therefore consider packing a pair of light "beach/swim shoes". The water is typically cold for a mountain lake, even on very hot summer days. However, I saw an "hardened" person swimming in it for 2 minutes.

An alpine pasture located directly on the hiking trail, just 2km from Schröggen, with a very friendly hostess. A very welcome first stop for refreshments at the end of a circular tour to Braunarlspitze or Mohnenfluh. There are various drinks and small snacks such as bacon or cheese bread, Landjäger, or a whole snack platter. There is a beautiful view into the valley and the surrounding area. The various free-roaming animals, such as particularly unusual-looking chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, were a special attraction during the break.

The Braunarlspitze (2,649 m, highest peak in the Bregenzerwald Mountains) offers a fantastic panoramic view all around on clear days – both of the striking peaks in the surrounding area and of famous mountains in the distance. To the north/northeast: - Bregenzerwald Mountains with Kanisfluh, Hoher Ifen, and Diedamskopf - Behind them, on a clear day, the Allgäu Alps with Hochvogel and Grosser Krottenkopf To the east/southeast: - Lechquellen Mountains with Roter Wand and Mohnenfluh - In the distance, the Silvretta region with Piz Buin, Piz Linard, and the Ochsental Glacier To the south: - Verwall Group with Hoher Riffler To the west/southwest: - The Rätikon with Zimba, Schedsaplana, and Drusenfluh

Beautifully situated, working alpine pasture with views down to Schröken. In summer, a dairy demonstration with cheese tasting takes place every Friday.

Here, hiking becomes climbing, walking becomes feeling your way. The path clings to the wall like a thought you'd rather not think through to the end. Narrow, rocky, exposed. No room for doubt, but plenty of room for the wind. And this wind carries stories with it. Of game that once crossed the ridge, and of hunters who knew what it meant to lose themselves in the terrain to find themselves. The path is secured today, with wire ropes and markings, but it still plays with the feeling that more is required here than surefootedness: trust. In your own feet. In the stones. In the purpose of the path. Up above, on one of these ledges, when the view becomes expansive and your breath short, you might understand why people are drawn here again and again. Not because of the panorama—that's just the externals. But because of this small, unplanned moment when everything fits together: rock, light, heartbeat.
