The Pfände towers high above Bregenz. Reachable by the Pfändebahn or on foot, it offers a brilliant view of the wide Lake Constance. At the top station of the cable car there is a wildlife park and several inns.

October 2, 2023,Pfänder 1064m, ab Lochau, Pfänderspitze, Abstieg über Mooskopf, Unterlangenfluh 🇺🇦 J.S.

I didn't have any change, so I quickly downloaded the "Easy-Park" APP and paid via the app. What you need is written on the side of the parking ticket machine.
The tour starts directly …

Still at Lake Constance for work. One more day than planned.
Was I that slow, or were the conditions not good? .....
......let's just say the conditions were not good 😉.
So, after work, a tour.

What to do? The weather is crappy... 🌨, up to the Pfänder,
then there are few cable car tourists and I have the wildlife …
