    Mellau cable cars (705 m) - Engevorsäß (705 m) - Ach bridge towards Hirschau - Schnepfau (734 m, car park) return via the same way; signposted for the most part as cycle and hiking paths

    The Kanisfluh could easily give rise to the argument whether this, the Bregenzerwald’s most striking mountain, is more impressive on the curved southern side of Au or on the northern face between mellau and Schnepfau. On our route, the rocks of the northern face tower up to 1,300 meters above the bottom of the valley. If you take a really close look, you can detect a mosaic of completely different natural habitats.
