Vorarlberg hiking book

<p>2900 meters difference in level lie between Lake Constance and the highest peak in Vorarlberg, the Piz Buin. Inevitably, the landscape here on the edge of the Eastern Alps presents itself with an inexhaustible wealth of forms. Mountains and valleys in diverse succession: surrounded by the Alpine Rhine and Walgau, the Große Walsertal and the Bregenzer Ach, the friendly Bregenzerwald mountains with the adjacent south-western flank of the Allgäu Alps, the mighty Lechquellengebirge towards the Arlberg, the lonely Verwall in the Klostertal and Montafon, and finally, as the border mountains to Switzerland, the characterful Rätikon with the Brandnertal and the ice-shimmering Silvretta!</p> <p>The new Vorarlberg hiking trail concept makes this fascinating, sometimes lovely, sometimes quite wild vest of Austria even more attractive. The routes, which are always described in detail and mostly accessible by public transport, range from child-friendly to lengthy and challenging and cover around 80 peaks on 50 routes. If an undertaking seems too long, you will discover promising intermediate destinations: a hidden Maisäß or a cozy hut stop, a colorful mountain lake or gushing waterfall.</p> <p>Maps and informative altitude profiles make time planning easier. Background information enriches the partly classic, partly little-known tour tips.</p> <p
