Egg | Hinterwald round trip

The route commences with short, steep climbs from the Impulszentrum through Ebenwald to Schetteregg. From there, it continues through the beautifully situated alpine settlements of Eggatsberg (1,090 m) and Hammeratsberg to the alpine area of Egg. After the Leugehralpe, it crosses the wildly romantic Subersach gorge and continues without much variation in altitude along a freight trail to the large alpine settlement of Schönenbach, which boasts many huts and a chapel. The ascent through the Osterguntenalpe up to the Stogger Sattel (1,440 m) then follows. The route continues with an initially steep descent on the Alpweg, which is then followed by a pleasant descent on a narrow asphalt road to Au.

The Bregenzerwald cycle path follows the Bregenzerach through Schnepfau into Enge alpine settlement near Mellau and on to Bezau along the road. From there, it continues uphill again to Bezegg (the ‘Bezegg-Sul’ is a commemoration of the site of the town hall of the former ‘Wälderrepublik’ (‘Forest Republic’) and then downhill to Andelsbuch and along the cycle path back to Egg.
