Subersach Gorge Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Here the water of the Subersach bubbles and gurgles in depth. The river rises below the Hehlekopf and flows into the Bregenzer Ach, which flows into Lake Constance.

Right at the beginning of the Rappenloch Gorge there are beautiful views of the Dornbirner Ache with its waterfalls.

I can't find a wildlife rest zone in this area; perhaps the authorities have downgraded the area because the wildlife probably has enough material to eat and isn't biting into the tree trunks anymore. An overview of wildlife rest zones can be found here: https://atlas.vorarlberg.at/portal/map/_sharedmaps/0xED6338152017F9B3007014B34224BD222FC02669CDB94E466691EC36B1A50175 Examples of wildlife rest zones can be found here: https://respektiere-deine-grenzen.at/in-der-natur/schutzgebiete/?_category=bregenzerwald

From this point you can only see the upper part of the waterfall. The better view is from the lower viewing point, which can be reached via a path that is sometimes quite slippery.
