The Comma Bridge, the oldest covered wooden bridge in the country, has spanned the river 15 meters above the water for almost 300 years.

Water Playground on the Water Trail, Naturpark Nagelfluhkette

Highlight • Rest Area

The water trail is highly recommended, as it passes many attractions, including water features for children, a wobbly suspension bridge, a running model of a water-powered saw, the Engenloch Gorge, and much more.

Bolgenach Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

You don't always have to be on the large suspension bridge to get the feeling. While it's short, it clearly conveys why it's named after it. Please only one person at a time; signs indicate this!

Ehlers Water Protection Area, Naturpark Nagelfluhkette

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Nagelfluhkette Nature Park is located on the German (Allgäu) and Austrian (Bregenzerwald) sides. When hiking, you'll often cross the green border. But the rocks with pebbles embedded in them are particularly special. It's very interesting to see.

September 15, 2023,Kommabrücke – Engenloch-Schlucht Runde von Hittisau

A great, very varied tour, suitable for nature lovers. Beautiful path along the river with great highlights such as the suspension bridge, the water features and the view of the river from above. The gorge is simply incredibly beautiful and easy to walk and then the view when you come back out of the forest is unique. We recommend.

The water hiking trail in Hittisau
Very well laid out and great to go.
The rushing of the river accompanies you, sometimes calmly, sometimes powerfully.
The path also leads through a gorge. The best thing is that the weather was dry beforehand, otherwise there could still be a lot of moisture dripping down from the rocks 😉
You should also …

May 11, 2025,🇦🇹 Bregenzerwald: Kummabrücke und Engenlochschlucht von Hittisau, 11.05.2025 ☀️🌤️🌕🌊

A beautiful evening walk through Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald. The route largely followed the Hittisau Water Trail. The highlight of the trail along the Bolgenach River is the Engenloch Gorge, a wild river valley. A narrow path runs along rocky walls above the river, partially via steps. Since it was already getting dark, unfortunately, there are no photos of the …

We skipped the last section of the water trail. We parked at the village fountain in Hittisau (free of charge). If you want to read all the signs along the water hiking trail, you should allow significantly more time. Dogs must be kept on a leash in the entire municipal area of Hittisau!
