View of the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance from Karren

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 12-meter-long walkway, surrounded by glass, offers a breathtaking view of the Swiss mountains, the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance, so to speak, "standing in the middle of nowhere." To take this unique impression home with you, you can use the selfie point to take a souvenir photo and have it printed out on site.

Karren Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Anyone who's ever on the cart must necessarily walk the root path to the top of the Staufens. The rather challenging path runs through a beautiful mountain forest. As the name suggests, you have to climb over roots all the time, which makes the Wandering Spirit even more exciting and keeps you going. When I walked this trail, I wished the trail would never stop. But after a good 50 minutes, you are finally at the destination: the top of the Stauf. It is a rather low peak, but that does not mean that you have no view. On the contrary, from the top you have a fantastic view of the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance.
How to get to the root path: From the cart track mountain station you have to walk first direction Staufenspitze. At the second intersection, the root path is already on the trail sign turn off. After a few minutes, the turnoff comes, where the white-blue-white root path begins.

Karren Panorama Restaurant & views of Dornbirn and Lake Constance

Highlight • Restaurant

The panorama restaurant now offers 150 seats. There are 200 more seats on the terrace. The restaurant is something special, spectacular behind large panes of glass with an extremely great view of Dornbirn and Lake Constance.

A challenge on the very steep parts, but nice and wide from the bottom to the top.
