VORARLBERG AND THE BIKE PARADISE OF THE BREGENZERWALD

Between the forest and the villages, the Vorarlberg region is bursting with cycling fun with 460 kilometers of cycling through pure nature in a relatively small area! So take a deep breath, enjoy and get on your mountain bike!

Waar oud en nieuw met traditionele houtbouw en modern design elkaar ontmoeten, kun je genieten van slopende bergtochten gecombineerd met ontspannende tochten door het traditionele cultuurlandschap van de 23 dorpen in het Bregenzerwald! Tussen het bos en de dorpen barst de regio in Vorarlberg van het fietsplezier met 460 fietskilometers door de pure natuur in een gebied van relatief kleine omvang! Dus haal diep adem, geniet en stap op je mountainbike!
Een kleine maar machtig regio voor mountainbikers. Trailrijders en toerliefhebbers zullen in het westen van Oostenrijk hun oren en ogen uitkuisen: het Bregenzerwald biedt immers niet alleen 460 kilometer aan gemarkeerde MTB-routes in alle moeilijkheidsgraden, maar ook puur natuur, onontdekte hoekjes en een eindeloze hoeveelheid bos daartussen. Tochten langs de Bregenzerache, over de Schreiberesattel of naar het MTB-parcourscentrum in Au-Schoppernau: hier kun je fietsen te midden van de rust en ongerepte natuur van de bergen. Hier vind je geen massa’s bikers – in plaats daarvan kun je alleen op pad, een met de natuur, voor pittige beklimmingen of ontspannen tochten met authentieke inzichten in de regionale levensstijl en de traditionele Alpenkeuken.

360° view from the Diedamskopf

The region’s signature trail is a truly exclusive nature experience in the heart of the Allgäu Alps, as it can only be ridden under the guidance of a Bregenzerwald Cycling School guide. The 360° view from the 2,090-meter peak over the mountains of Vorarlberg is impressive and awe-inspiring. From the trail that, the descent to the valley is full of variety. Up and down in long curves with a great flow and along ever-changing views of the Vorarlberg mountain landscape. The flowing nature trail runs through the wild forest, across meadows and cotton grass – it’s all about enjoying the moment, just experiencing it and taking the occasional break.

The path is the forest

But there is much more to the Bregenzerwald than the legendary Diedamskopf. At the 4-country corner, the route quickly crosses the border: we cycle around Lake Constance to Germany, Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Impressive views of the neighboring countries included. The selection of tours leaves nothing to be desired: There is the beautiful Schoppernau/Diedamskopf – Neuhornbachhaus tour, as well as the popular Schreibersattel tour or the Bregenzerwald classic Mellau/Kanisfluh. The MTB trail center Au-Schoppernau also offers variety with family-friendly uphill routes up to the black jump line.
