Along the straightened Litz river near Schruns, two beautiful gravel paths run along both sides, lined with lovely old houses and trees. A must for both walkers and cyclists. One is called the Hermann Sander Trail, the other the Doktor Vonbun Trail.

The Wildried raised bog lies at 1550 meters above sea level on the Kristberg mountain along the Wasserstobaweg trail and is one of the highest bogs in Europe. It is an irreplaceable natural gem and a sight to behold in every season.

A very stylish mountain restaurant with good food and friendly service. This must be the former Brunella, which I remember from my childhood, where there was always a Wolpertinger hanging on the wall.
