In the Bregenzer Ach, there is an island here made of very wavy, eroded sandstone rocks, which form very beautiful shapes together with the water. Easily accessible from the southern bank at lower water levels.

The sandstone cliffs are located near the mouth of the BREGENZER ACH river into Lake Constance (not the mouth of the Rhine!)

The sandstone cliffs are located near the mouth of the BREGENZER ACH, not on the Rhine.

Useful covered cycle bridge. A bit narrow; be careful when turning.

Beautiful sandstone slabs in the Bregenzer Ach. At low water levels, swimming fun in the rapids

Around 1100, the Count of Bregenz built the castle on a rocky outcrop of the Gebhardsberg, high above the city. "Sunken in holy enthusiasm..." begins a poem inspired by Hohen Bregenz Castle. In 1143, the castle passed to the Counts of Pulllendorf, and shortly thereafter, around 1170, to Count Palatine Hugo II of Tübingen (father of Hugo I, Count of Montfort). The upper part of the castle was sold to the Habsburgs in 1451, and the lower part in 1523, and the castle became the seat of Austrian bailiffs. Converted into a fortress at the beginning of the 17th century, the Swedes blew up large sections of the castle during the Thirty Years' War. The circular wall and parts of the palace survived. The attached church became a popular place of pilgrimage in honor of Saint Gebhard. The old sacristan's house, which has since been converted into a restaurant, looks forward to your visit. Even today, the fantastic view over the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance attracts numerous visitors.
