Beautiful 2-day circular hike. Wonderful views and panorama. Overnight stay at the Freschenhaus with a delicious breakfast buffet.
Overall a demanding route requiring good fitness, sure-footedness, and a head for heights.

Summit dwarf with cheeky rocky forehead While the Känzele wraps itself in an unimpressive mixed forest mantle on the south side, it shows its petrified face to the Bezau side. No question, the Känzele is a real mountain. If you don't believe it, try it out for yourself.

A Shady Mountain Hike in the Heart of the “Forest” The Gopfberg stands imposingly in the middle of the Bregenzer Forest, blocking the Ach River’s path to Schnepfau and forcing it to take a circuitous detour. Viewed from the north, this wooded companion—much like the neighboring Känzele, though well below the summit area—displays a striking strip of rock composed of solid Schratten limestone.

Elegant pioneer on the ridge Between the Dornbirn Ach and the Mellental, which flows into the Bregenzer Ach near Mellau, stretches the so-called First. A well-shaped outpost of this long ridge chain is the steeply sloping hilltop almost on all sides. You have to persevere if you desire this green mountain lady. The Alpsteig climbing to the retired Hangalpe, where only a breath of the old alpine era still lingers, really challenges you. In the past, even the cattle had to climb this relentless path. Speaking of the lady, for the locals the "Spitz" is, of course, like many grass cones in the region, a man.

Easy hike from Reuthe in the Bregenzerwald. It can also be started from Bezau or Bizau. The Känzele is a wooded rocky ridge with a steep rock face to the north towards Bezau Rimsgrund. The marked footpath mostly runs over rocks and forest trails. When wet and snowy, it is slippery on the roots and stones!
