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.

Nice round above the fog on the Pfänderücken with a view on both sides, on the one hand towards Switzerland over the sea of fog and on the other hand into the Vorarlberg mountains - the Wirtatobel is also beautiful - up on the Pfände was of course full, everyone wanted to get out of the soup!

Unfortunately, there are a lot of reckless e-bikers! Even on the designated hiking trails! Plus, cars and campers everywhere.

June 30, 2024,V-Card #2: Pfänderbahn

As is often the case at the moment, rain was forecast for today. So we changed our plans at short notice, grabbed the V-Card and took the train to the Pfänder.
After what feels like I've hiked around there 1000 times, we discovered a new option today: Moosegg - Jungholz - Wirtatobel - Moosegg.
It was lovely 😊

To get in the mood for a long girls' weekend, we first went shopping at the Prinz in Hörbranz 😆
Then it went to Eichenberg to start a lap by following the nose from there.
Our nose led us to Mossegg. We left the pledge on the right today and then rather walked a bit in the direction of Hirschberg. …
