Brandnertal hiking guide

<p>The "Alpenregion Bludenz", as the vacation region around Bludenz with the Brandnertal, Großes Walsertal, Klostertal and eastern Walgau is also known, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Vorarlberg and Austria.</p> <p>"Alpenregion Bludenz" is the collective name for the vacation areas around the "Fünftälerstern" Bludenz, and this also largely corresponds to the tour area of this hiking guide: Located in the heart of Vorarlberg and featuring a modern hiking trail concept, Brandnertal, Großes Walsertal, Klostertal and östlicher Walgau offer a colorful mix of popular summit ascents and secluded forest and high-altitude hikes via Maisäße, mountain inns and alpine huts.</p> <p>The Brandnertal offers the majority of the generally easy and moderately difficult hikes, characterized by a grandiose summit world with the majestic Schesaplana and the tourist magnet Lünersee, the "Pearl of the Rätikon". The head of the valley is considered the most beautiful in the Eastern Alps. The Große Walsertal shows a completely different face. Fortunately, the high-tech age has so far steered clear of this homely valley, which is mainly lined with tussocky grassy mountains and is home to the Walser people. On historic Walser trails, you can immerse yourself in the unspoiled mountain landscape and experience the valley's rich cultural past. Excursions around the district capital of Bludenz and on both sides of the Klostertal, which runs to the Arlberg, round off the routes on offer.</p> <p>A clear summary, walking maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, brief but detailed directions for each of the routes and an overview map make it easier for hikers to plan and carry out their excursions. Appealing color photos also provide a first impression of this attractive touring area. For this third edition, this Rother hiking guide has been carefully revised and provided with informative altitude profiles.</p
