Wolfurt - Bödele - Brüggelekopf - Oberbildstein - Wolfurt
Beautiful trail route which takes place through forests, meadows but also on the road.
There are steeper ascents or descents as well as sections that can be completed at a good running pace.

Roadbook
From Wolfurt Rickenbach, it goes to Schwarzach. At the beginning of the road into the Schwarzach Tobel, you turn right onto the hiking trail towards Amenegg. The route finding is not immediately obvious here when you have to turn left at the fork to then reach the forest path. Crossing private land is almost impossible here.
Continue on the red-white marked path towards Amenegg.
At the fork where it goes right to Dornbirn and left to Alberschwende, you must go left.
Continue by turning right at the first road junction. There is no signage here, and you follow the paved road to the houses and keep right. You aim for the clearing in the forest which you can clearly see at the end of the road.
First through the field but then on the path which is not signposted but clearly visible, it continues through the forest.
When you reach the forest road, you are also at the Bödelestrasse and follow the signs further in the direction of Bödele.
Arriving at Bödele, cross the road towards Alberschwende. Further through the forest, the fork towards Brüggelekopf appears, which you then follow. Here you walk down the feeder path on the south side to then run again on the asphalt road towards Brüggelekopf.
At Brüggelekopf, continue through the forest which you walk until Alberschwende. This is indicated by signage. Unfortunately, it then continues again on asphalt to the district of Hinterfeld. Upon arrival there, follow the signs towards Schneiderkopf / Oberbildstein / Buggenegg.
Arriving in Oberbildstein, it now only goes downhill towards Bildstein and Wolfurt. Shortly before Bildstein, you could already turn into the forest towards Vockenbühel to leave the paved path.
A small climb still awaits you in the ravine after the Rickenbach bridge.
