active winter
Alpine meadows with 290 different species of plant, valuable upland moors, forests of white firs and ravine forests and an alp density unmatched anywhere else in Austria are characteristics of the nature park. A connecting element is the impressive Nagelfluh range, which crosses the nature park from the west to the east. Great differences in altitude, geologic diversity, sustainable alp farming – all of this resulted in the creation of a large number of various living environments on a relatively small surface. During the winter, the easily accessible mountains in the nature park are an ideal destination for snowshoe hikers, backcountry skiers and lovers of nature.
Out and about with the ranger At first glance, the snow-covered slopes and mountain forests of the nature park look pristine. Upon closer inspection, the tracks left behind by black grouse, mountain rabbits, chamoix, indicate that sensitive animals have their habitat here. Taking a snowshoe hike accompanied by a ranger from the nature park hones your senses for the animal kingdom and the mountains of the nature park.
family tips
A magnificent cultural landscape, awarded the much-coveted designation “nature park”, developed on the interface between Bregenzerwald and Allgäu over the course of several centuries. Today, 15 communities (eight of which are in the Bregenzerwald), are involved in the first crossborder park between Austria and Germany.
