Tour description
Start of the tour is at the parking lot of the "Hängender Stein" in Nüziders. From here along the Walgauweg in the direction of Nüziders. After about 15-20 minutes you will reach the first houses of the Nüziders community. The path leads here for a short distance through the village. At the Bad Sonnenberg inn, the path branches off along a meadow and forest path in the direction of the Sonnenberg ruins (access to the meadow and forest path: above the parking lot, a narrow footpath branches off to the right). Alternatively, this section can also be done through the village of Nüziders and along the Schloßweg. At the end of the Schloßweg, directly at the Sonnenberg ruins, both trail variants meet again in the "Kälberbünt" district. From here, the path leads uphill for a while along the forest road. At the next fork with signposts, follow the trail in the direction of Kreuzboden, Hinteroferst and Nüziders. From here continue on forest roads and forest paths. On this section of the trail, there are always short breaks at rest areas with loungers - the vantage point "Grafen Känzele" is particularly beautiful. The Grafen Känzele is not directly on the path, but the short detour is definitely worth it - there is also the information board No. 5 and a sensational view awaits you. The trail continues along the forest path, past the Maria Brünnele and on towards Bludenz. The last part of the first stage leads you out of the forest over a meadow to the South Tyrolean settlement and further to the Daneu bridge.
