Umgang Mellau

From the church square (village hall,tourist information office), you walk down to the “Hotel Engel”. Then go left across the Mellenbach and, past the “Sonne Lifestyle Resort” hotel, continue straight up the street as far as the “Hotel Kreuz”. Here, you turn off to the left and pass by the lovely ensemble of houses belonging to the “Übermellen” plot of land. At the fountain, you once again turn off to the left and, at the next crossroads, turn rightand continue as far as the swimming pool. After the bridge spanning the Mellenbach, you walk downhill to the left of the stream. At the striking fire station, you cross the car park and hike uphill on the right-handside of the road (detour to the cemetery). In front of the “Haus Fröwis”, a gravel path turns off to the left (private road). Follow this path for a magnificent viewof the Hirschberg, Diedamskopf and the Kanisfluh on the “Oberfeld” plot of land. After the first house, turn left again (beforethe small stream) and walk downhill. At “Rosi’s Werkstätte”, keep to the left at the wayside cross, and this brings you back to the centre of Mellau.
