Faschinajoch Pass (1,486 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Passo Faschina 1486 m
The Faschinajoch is a mountain pass in the Alps (Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps) at 1486 m above sea level. It connects the valley of the Bregenzer Ach (Bregenzer Wald) near Damüls with the valley of the Lutz (Großes Walsertal) near Faschina.
The well-developed Faschina Straße (formerly Bundesstraße 193, now L 193) leads over the pass. The eastern part of the route is very popular with motorcyclists.
The Faschinajoch got its name from 'Fassia', which means 'a strip of meadow'. It was first mentioned in a document as 'Vaschin' in 1482. At that time, most of the pastures on the crossing were already in use; It is reported from later years that there was a house at the top of the pass, which was constantly occupied not only in summer but also in winter. A small chapel dedicated to Holy Mother Anna was also attached to this house.

Church of Thūringerberg

Highlight • Religious Site

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.
Since 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.

Black Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Black Lake was created in the late Middle Ages by a landslide from the Spiegelstein. The natural scar of the Verunite Schrofen, which is still visible today, bears witness to this major medieval event.

The surface of the water is roughly in the shape of a boomerang, with a small island on the south side of the lake with a single tree on it. There is a small footpath around the lake.

September 22, 2024,Walsertal Faschinajoch und Furkajoch

Today was one of those days where we had planned a short tour, but because it was going so well, we added more and more kilometers and passes. It was a beautiful tour, surprisingly little traffic and it felt like there was a street festival in every Walser village.

The Furkajoch in Vorarlberg also presented itself in 2022 as a wolf in sheep's clothing, a really tough dog.
We started our tour in a parking lot in Thuringia near Bludenz and were able to roll our way leisurely and full of euphoria for 20 km to Rankweil. Shortly before the mountain there is at the end of Rankweil in …

Today was the men's and women's tour, separated by valley. 🤣 Furka morning, fresh (@AnBo ☺️🚴‍♂️ ☺️🚴‍♂️. Still, it briefly reached 1700), and almost only male cyclists were out. On the way back over Dunserberg and Falschinajoch, I saw almost only women on bikes (because it was warmer?). I have no idea.
The sun was really blazing today. Good thing …

Today I took the RedFly clockwise over the Furka Pass and Dünserberg again. Just so I can compare which is "harder." I can't remember the last time I rode a 20 km climb. It was in the shade, and that counts in the blazing sun that only @AnBo ☺️🚴‍♂️ would have felt comfortable in.
We're familiar with the motorcycles on …

October 3, 2024,Düns Rankweil Furkajoch Damüls Thüringerberg

With a new saddle we went over Rankweil to the Furkajoch in reasonable weather. Yeah, that's a real challenge with the ramps in there. It was really cold at the top and on the descent it got quite wet from above and below. The route is definitely very scenic but unfortunately we didn't see much of it. So we'll do …

August 11, 2023,Wellness beim Furka-Joch

A wellness tour in Vorarlberg was planned with my sports buddy Karle. The start was in beautiful Nenzing (unfortunately only around 12 p.m. at 27 degrees) at the great Walgaubad on the free parking lot. Right next to it is the cycle path parallel to the Ill, which took us in the direction of Rankweil. In Rankweil I can never …
