Alberschwende | From the peak to the valley
Scenic valley hike from the Brüggelekopf down to Alberschwende.
Take the chair lift up to the Brüggelekopf. From Brüggelekopf mountain station (1,160 m), a partially paved, partially well-trodden winter path takes you down to Kaltenbrunnen (906 m). Here, the path turns north-wards into a forest and then winds its way across sunny slpes through the Tannen and Lanzen plots of land back to Alberschwende (722 m).

Suggestions
Culture on the routeThe Lorena pass is an old crossing into the Bregenzerwald. Between the Middle Ages and the mid-19th century, this was the most popular connection with the Rhine Valley. The scenic sunny slope of Kaltenbrunnen was used as a mountain pasture back in the Middle Ages, and has been permanently inhabited by several families since the 18th century if not earlier.
