Relatively inconspicuous.
Small bridge over the stream flowing below.
One sign for Austria, one for Liechtenstein, that's it.

Liechtenstein–Austria Border Crossing (Vorarlberg)

Highlight • Monument

If you don't turn around, you won't even notice the border crossing. There is only a sign from Liechtenstein to Austria ;-)

Parish Church of St. Michael, Tisis

Highlight • Religious Site

Old Catholic parish church of St. Michael
The church in the cluster village of Tisis, incorporated into the city of Feldkirch in 1925, was mentioned in a document in 1218 and was consecrated in 1442. The ownership of a vineyard was mentioned for 1610, which went to the Ottobeuren monastery in 1696. The church was the mother church of the Tosters district.
Located on a hill, surrounded by a cemetery, the nave with a wider choir stands under a slightly bent gable roof. The main portal side in the west with a gable facade has a large wooden sign under a hipped roof. The church tower with a hipped gable roof stands to the south of the choir with an adjacent sacristy on the nave under a lean-to roof. There is an ossuary in the basement of the choir. On the facade there is a fresco of St. George with dragons from the second half of the 14th century. Further frescoes from around 1450 show the Adoration of the Magi, the Crucifixion with Mary and John, the Resurrection, and Christopher. On the east side of the sacristy there are remains of frescoes with John the Baptist, Mary with Child, St. Michael, donor family and coat of arms from the 16th century.
The high altar from 1680 shows an altarpiece of St. Michael, marked W K Dornbirn 1862. The left side altar around 1700 shows the altarpiece of St. Johannes Evangelist by the painter Franz Xaver Bobleter from 1860. The right side altar, analogous to the left, shows the altarpiece of St. Dominic with Mary and child by Franz Xaver Bobleter from 1859. The pulpit with a bulging basket and canopy lid was created around 1790. There is a picture of Mary with child and the 14 helpers with the Battle of Tisis with an Antonius chapel in the background by Mathias Jehly from 1816.

View of Werdenberg Castle and Lake Werdenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Werdenbergersee (Buchser See)
The Werdenbergersee is located in its entirety in the municipality of Buchs in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. This is despite the fact that the eponymous town of Werdenberg with its castle is located to the northwest of the lake. The beautiful Werdenbergersee is located at an altitude of 447 meters above sea level at the foot of the Buchserberg. The lake is a good 250m long and 170m wide and the small Wettibach flows out of the lake.
The Buchser See is a popular local recreation area. A stroller-friendly shore path leads around the lake and a one-hour sensory trail begins at the lake. Fishing in the Werdenbergersee is not permitted.
On the north shore of the lake, Werdenberg Castle towers over the lake and vineyards lead from the town up to the castle.
