August 23, 2023,Schoppernau - Bergkristallhütte - Au

From our holiday apartment in Haus Wohlsein, Schoppernau, the two of us headed over the Bregenzer Ache to the Gräsalp district. It was about 6 km on forest paths at 1215m high above the rural settlement of Bodenvorsäß with St. Michael's chapel and a wonderful view of the valley. The Bodenvorsäß is one of the largest mountain pastures in the …

It's raining again. So instead of going up the mountain, we chose a route nearby. The hike itself is not demanding, but offers beautiful views and great nature. There are good places to stop for refreshments along the way. We had plenty of water, it rushes down from everywhere. And it's just beautiful here.

A somewhat steeper climb from the campsite. The Bergkristallhütte is highly recommended, a super delicious meal and, as usual from the Bregenz Forest, very, very friendly staff

The small detour via Gräsalp is worth it to stop for a farm ice cream or two.

January 20, 2024,Wanderung 👞Au - Bergkristallhütte - und zurück 👍

The start of the hike in the best hiking weather 🌞👍 was in Au at the municipal office.
The winter hiking trail up to the Bergkristallhütte also begins here.
Since the path first leads through a forest covered in deep snow for some time, it was a bit 🥶 at the beginning.
Shortly before the Vorsäß Boden you leave the …
