Church, St. Apostle Andrew, Thüringerberg The church was built in the years 1782 and 1783 due to lack of space, but the consecration did not take place until 1790. In 1786, Thüringerberg finally got its own pastor and the curacy was elevated to an independent parish in 1835. In 1864, the church received three new altars, which were replaced by a people's altar in 1960. The current altar has been in the church since 1990. The first organ was in 1805 and a new one was bought in 1860. Since 1994, the parish church has had a new organ again, which was largely financed by six organ godmothers. As the church was too small from the very beginning, it was enlarged in 1894. In 1959/60, the church was extended again and also modernized. The last renovation took place in 1989/90.

The Dornbirner Ach (also known as Dornbirnerach or Dornbirner Ache), along with the more northerly Bregenzer Ach, is one of the most important outflows for the smaller streams of the western Bregenzerwald Mountains and the lower Rhine Valley in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. Until the Rhine was regulated, the Dornbirner Ach flowed into Lake Constance near Fußach. Today, the approximately 30-kilometer-long river flows east of and parallel to the Rhine near Hard into Lake Constance, crossing the municipal area of the city of Dornbirn. This large bridge is also accessible by car, and the cycle path and pedestrian path are separated from it.

Super useful! Just be careful that the water fountain has a very high water pressure...otherwise, very glad to see these around!
