    The themed trail offers insights into how important continuous cover forests are and how they’re managed. These sustainably managed forests are particular to the Bregenzerwald’s landscapes.

    How important are forests and what species of tree grow in the Bregenzerwald? The Rotenberg forest trail provides a good overview of the answer to these questions. It leads from Lingenau or Hittisau through a particularly species-rich mixed forest with silver fir (which are typical of the Bregenzerwald), beech, spruce, ash, maple, elm and linden trees. Nineteen stations along the way, including a forest room, a high moor and a natural arena made of Nagelfluh rock, reveal interesting facts about the forest. The short circular trail takes around two hours to complete, the long one three and a half hours.
