A particularly beautiful natural monument is the tufa slope in Lingenau. It is one of the most magnificent travertine formations in Europe north of the Alps and thus one of the most outstanding geological features in Vorarlberg.

Quelltuff Lingenau

Highlight • Natural Monument

A great natural jewel in our home - the source tuff! Wooden stairs and footbridges lead us through this wonder of nature. Over time, moss, stalks and grass are petrified by the calcareous water that runs down untamed.

There's also a viewing platform where we could stand and marvel. The spring waters cascade over a 40-meter-high steep slope, approximately 30 meters wide, into the Subersach Gorge.
