From the centre of the village of Andelsbuch, you cycle down narrow roads to the Bregenzerache, from where you can see Andelsbuch power station. The Art Nouveau building dating from 1908 was one of the biggest hydroelectric power stations in the Austro-Hungarian empire. You then cycle through peacefully situated villages up to Schwarzenberg, one of the loveliest villages in the whole of the Bregenzerwald. After a short stretch on the Bödelestraße, you take quiet roads through the forest and across fields to reach the Lorenapass.
