Stream at the spring tufa

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

The rainy weather of the past few days has had devastating effects in Austria today, our country was spared and today there was sunshine again.
It was cool, the mountains were covered in snow, crazy in September. But nothing stood in the way of an excursion, you don't have to go up high.

A little round in the morning to experience the quelltuff nature near Lingenau in the Bregenz Forest.
Paths were still a bit slippery due to the wetness of the last two days.

First we went to the Käsekeller Lingenau and filled up our supply of cheese.
Then we turned the tuff round. A small but very worth seeing tour.
You cross the spring tuff on the steep slope via many steps and footbridges.
