The Hohe Kugel attracts whole hordes of visitors with two short ascents from Fraxern or Ebnit, numerous places to stop for food, a nature friends' house, and of course, its location high above the Rhine Valley with free views of Lake Constance. But those willing to invest a few more drops of sweat will also find quiet paths here. On a beautiful September day after some rainy days, a popular hiking day, I met only 3 fellow hikers here away from the section between the summit and Emser Hütte.

Forecast for Götzis

10-day forecast
One of the most beautiful tours leads up to the local mountain of Götzis, the "Hohe Freschen". The ascent starts on the outskirts of Götzis and leads through dense forests to the summit region. From there you have a breathtaking panoramic view of the Rhine valley and the surrounding mountains. This hike is also suitable for families as it is well marked and has no particular difficulties.

Another highlight are the so-called "Three Towers Hikes" around Götzis. These are three different routes that lead to impressive viewpoints. Each tour has its own charm and offers spectacular views of the surroundings. The hike to the Schlossgarten hill with its historic tower is particularly recommended.

For nature lovers, there are also a variety of hiking routes along the river Frutz or through the nearby Ruggbachschlucht nature reserve. Here, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can find peace and enjoy unspoilt nature.

The best seasons for hiking in Götzis are spring and autumn. During these months, the weather is usually pleasantly mild and nature shows its most beautiful side. In summer, on the other hand, it can get quite hot, which is why it is best to hike early in the morning or late in the evening.

In summary, Götzis is a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The diverse hiking possibilities, starting with the local mountain "Hoher Freschen" to the Three Towers Hikes, offer something suitable for every taste. Whether alone, with friends or family - everyone will find their personal favourite route here. So lace up your hiking boots and explore the fascinating landscape around Götzis!

    Geschätzte Schwierigkeit: T1 bis T2+. Ich hab die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung zum GPS, den Anstieg also über die längere Ostseite, gemacht. Der Abstieg war an einigen Stellen über die Westseite dann etwas zäh, weil auch Mitte März noch viel Laub lag und oben sogar noch etwas Schnee, wodurch ein paar Stellen echt rutschig waren. Allgemein gehen beide Seiten oft durch den Wald, wovon ich nicht so ein Fan bin. Es gibt aber dazwischen ein paar schöne Aussichtspunkte und auch optische Überraschungen.
