Sibratsgfäll | To the lovelies mountain pasture

If you take the bus, you must first take the road or follow the flattened winter hiking path down to the car park in Krähenberg (approx. 30 minutes). From the Krähenberg car park, the road descends steeply to Bilgeri's snack bar in Krähenberg. The flattened winter path starts here (keep on the cross-country ski run). Crossing a narrow gorge with impressive views down to the Subersach is a lovely experience. The valley soon reveals itself, and the beautivully located mountain pasture settlement of Schönenbach (1,025 m) is in front of you.

Schönenbach is one of the lovelies, largest mountain pasture settlements in the whole of the Bregenzerwald. It was mentioned for the first time in 1491, compirses over 25 huts and one chapel. Cattle graze on the mountain pasture before and after the alp period. During the summer, the pastures are mowed. In the spring and autumn, the milk is processed into butter and cheese in a collective alpine dairy.
