Great bike path above the nasty ravine. The surface is a bit rough, not ideal for city bikes.🥰

Sevelen Gorge Trail / 3.5 km circular hiking trail On this approximately 3.5 km circular hiking trail, you can experience nature and the environment in a different way. Is a glacial mill a type of coffee machine or a chicane in downhill skiing? Why is Liechtenstein actually African? And how can more than 1,300 different animals live on a single piece of wood? Bring your spirit of discovery and enjoy the mysterious atmosphere in the Geissberg Gorge or the magnificent views of our unique mountain world. The circular trail can be started from either the Glat parking lot or the town center near the civil defense installation. Simply follow the "Gorge Trail" markings and stay on these trails in the interest of nature and wildlife. The two other hiking trails, marked green and blue, offer a varied alternative to the adventure trail.

From here to Austria, rideable. From here to Liech, not worth hiking with the bike up or down. Regarless of the direction, you will walk.

The Sevelen Gorge Trail is really beautifully done. After rainy days, parts of the trail are very muddy, but with the necessary attention it shouldn't be a problem. Don't forget your camera and tripod if you want to take particularly impressive photos. It's worth it.

Quite impressive, the facility probably also serves to supply Feldkirchen's water supply
