High moor at Hörnlepass

Highlight • Natural

Up here on the Hörnle Pass there is a large raised bog where you can enjoy a wonderful variety of plants. The radiant white cotton grass is particularly beautiful to look at.

The hiking route along the Breitach is a great natural spectacle. There is delicious food in the Waldhaus before you continue in the direction of Riezlern!

August 30, 2025,Hochmoor am Hörnlepass-Alpe Hinterenge I-Hängebrücke Breitach

Today we had two options: 1. sit on the balcony and count the raindrops, or 2. go outside anyway. Of course, we chose the second option and took the bus to the start from Schwende Bergblick. Lo and behold, it was only light rain, which soon stopped 🤗. A beautiful trail, Hörnlepass high moor, and our first rest stop at …

Very beautiful hike through the raised moors in the small Walsertal. A delight when the meadows and orchids are in bloom.

September 14, 2025,Blick ins Kleinwalsertal – Wasserfall an der Breitach Runde von Riezlern

The view is simply fantastic. The landscape is beautiful, too. But about 70% of the route is "pavement" and extremely tiring. A shame. It might be nice for e-bikes, but not for hikers.

Probably the most beautiful section along the Breitach River was closed due to rockfall, and I had to change my plans.

June 10, 2025,Hochmoorwanderung am Hörnlepass – Riezlern Kleinwalsertal

A very scenic tour through the raised moorland at the Hörnle Pass, with stunningly beautiful flower meadows. You walk along mountain roads, meadow and forest paths, and a short trail, offering fantastic views of the Kleinwalsertal mountains (unfortunately, it was a bit hazy at times today, which impaired visibility).
Along the route, you pass several alpine pastures and mountain inns; …

September 22, 2023,Moorwanderung am Hörnlepass im Kleinwalsertal – 🍁Herbstwandern in Vorarlberg🍁

Hey and hello from beautiful Vorarlberg, where I'm going autumn hiking with Lisa @Abenteuermomente in the next few days! 🍁😊 The first region we tackled was the Kleinwalsertal and set off directly from Riezlern-Schwende on a cross-border moor hike.

I'm really excited to finally be on tour in the mountains again and I'm completely in my element after the first …

Lots of asphalt, beautiful views. The final stretch along the Breitach River makes up for all the asphalt 😉

February 23, 2024,Kleinwalsertal: Übers "Hörele" zur Breitachklamm ❄️⛄️🦌

Unfortunately no sun today, but wonderful fresh snow! 👏
On the Hörele (the Walser people call the Hörnle Pass that way)
along through beautiful nature towards the border with Germany and down to the Breitachklamm.
Unfortunately, shortly before the finish, the path to the gorge was closed due to a landslide. So a little detour was unavoidable.
