Excursion tips for active guests

It is well known that children have enough energy to move around for hours if the surroundings are exciting enough. Hiking trails have been created here which are guaranteed not to be boring and monotonous walking. Some routes, for example, lead along streams which invite you to take a refreshing splash along the way. In some places, a rock climbing course may present outdoor enthusiasts with a small challenge. Some routes also lead to animal enclosures or play stations where puzzles on nature and the environment must be solved. Programs are offered which are completely tailored to the interests of families. Visits to farms including milking cows , various themed nature trails or herb hikes are just a few examples of how you can spend your free time here in a way that everyone has fun. The most impressive natural experiences include the narrow gorges dominated by high, steep rock faces. The Breitachklamm can be "conquered" on a circular tour in around one and a half hours. The Rappenloch Gorge near Dornbirn is similarly fascinating and in the Bürser Gorge you really have the feeling of being in the middle of a primeval forest.

Family time by the water

Mountains and swimming are not mutually exclusive in Vorarlberg, as this state is home to many adventure pools and forest lakes, as well as part of Lake Constance. On beautiful summer days, several lidos and natural bathing areas tempt you to take a dip in the cool water. A boat trip is also a great excursion tip for families. Round trips and themed tours regularly depart from beautiful Bregenz, allowing you to get to know the surrounding area from a different perspective.

Bregenz – one of the most beautiful cities on Lake Constance
