Panorama hike Dornbirn Karren

Directions

The well-signposted hike starts directly behind the cable car’s valley station (464 m). It takes hikers across the Dornbirner Ache from where there is an immediate right turn up the steep Oberbürgle Forstweg (Forest Path). Then it takes hikers over the Bürgle to the wayside shrine Bildstöckle (710 m). This is where hikers may choose between the shorter but steeper route straight ahead or turn left to use the family trail. The trails join again further up and continue across Kühberg up to the mountain station (976 m). Hikers may return the same way or take the cable car down to the valley. The cable car runs every 15 minutes until 11.00 p.m., even until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
