The path makes you feel like you're floating above it all, as the Höhenweg guarantees views of the impressive limestone cliffs of the Rätikon as well as the Vandanser Steinwand with the Zimba. From the Grüneck mountain station, you go over the Golmer Höhenweg to the Golmer Joch and the Kreuzjoch. Downhill, the route passes idyllic mountain lakes, moors, alpine meadows, and the Außergolm alp.
Beautiful, varied high-altitude hike, scenically inspiring due to the proximity of the impressive Rätikon peaks Sulzfluh, Drei Türme, Drusenfluh, Zimba, etc., especially beautiful during the alpine rose bloom.

Also at the Latschau reservoir is the showroom of the Lünerseewerk (pumped storage power plant) of the Vorarlberger Illwerke, which is open daily and free of charge.
