Stylish lookout tower with an entertaining circular routeThe elegantly shaped Zafernhorn, with its often sharp grass blades, is one of the links between the hiking regions of Bregenzerwald and the Great Walsertal. Among its advantages (such as high starting and summit elevations, no mandatory valley access routes, circular route options on mostly comfortable paths, and no development by mountain hotels or lift facilities) is also an informative view.

King of the Bregenzerwald Mountains The Alpine Club's area classification grants the Glatthorn, which stands out so strikingly at the landscape boundary to the Lechquellengebirge with its avalanche-prone west flank, also called Damülser Horn, the status of the highest peak in the Bregenzerwald Mountains.

Alpine joys on the Gumpener Grätle and HochscherewegA fantastic start in the northern ridge of the Lechquellen Mountains! A wild and mostly relatively secluded mountain region around the distinctive Zitterklapfen, 2403 m. From Damüls, you go from the Bregenz Forest over the Faschinajoch into the Lechquellen Mountains. On scenic paths, through colorful alpine meadows and on the exposed Gumpener Grätle, the steeply rising Zitterklapfen gets closer and closer. The alpine and partly rope-secured Hochschereweg leads at the Hochschere Pass, 2013 m, the highest point of this stage, over and around the western flanks of the Zitterklapfen. On clear days, the view of the central Alpine ranges from the pass summit is simply amazing! If this passage is blocked by snowfields, the Biberacher Hut can be reached via Buchboden (see stage 6V). Along the south slope of the Zitterklapfen, we enter a pristine landscape with lush grass areas, fallen limestone rocks, small boulder fields, and streams. On clear days, the view of the central Alpine ranges is breathtaking. A varied highlight tour!

    Sehr schöne Tour mit toller Aussicht. Die Höhenmeterangabe stimmt allerdings nicht. Tatsächlich sind es nur knapp 700hm.

    Mit dem Auto von Fontanella nach Faschina und von dort zu Fuss auf das Glatthorn (2134m). Wunderbare Weitsicht - nicht immer sichtbar der Säntis (Schweiz). Vom Glatthorn runter (Seilsicherung da steil abwärts) stellt aber keine allzu Grösse Schwierigkeit dar. Über die Stafel Alpe zur Franz-Josef-Hütte wieder runter nach Faschina. Insgesamter Zeitaufwand ca. 6 Stunden.

    Ein sehr schöne Runde für Wanderfreunde die hier in der Gegend übernachten und nach Wanderungen suchen. Gute Schuhe waren von Vorteil. 4 Stunden ist die Angabe wenn man die Strecke flott durchrennt.
