October 29, 2025, Chapel of St. Anna on the Field (Kapelle hl. Anna auf dem Felde)

The Baroque church, a listed historical monument, dates back to 1722 according to its keystone. The builder is believed to have been one of the masters of the Bregenzerwald school of architecture. Constructed from tufa stone, the chapel, with its Greek cross shape, is a unique structure in the entire region and has undergone several thorough renovations, most recently in 1968 and 1990. The ceiling frescoes, created in 1968 by the Schruns artist Konrad Honold, depict individuals who were either born in Vorarlberg or who worked there. Among them was Vorarlberg's first diocesan bishop, Bruno Wechner. The altarpiece portrays Saint Anne.

A wooden hut with a veranda for protection from the rain, located on a large forest meadow. A lovely spot for a rest or a hiking break.

A rather shaky suspension bridge over the Subersach River, which can only be crossed one at a time. Not necessarily suitable for those with a fear of heights, even though the bridge is well secured and can be used without any problems.

A particularly beautiful natural monument is the tufa slope in Lingenau. It is one of the most magnificent travertine formations in Europe north of the Alps and thus one of the most outstanding geological features in Vorarlberg. Here, spring water plunges over a roughly 40-meter-high escarpment, approximately 30 meters wide, into the Subersach Gorge. The conglomerate rock outcrop, visible in some places, is partially covered by several meters of travertine and spring tufa. On the overhangs, mushroom-shaped layers of travertine have developed into stalactite-like canopies. At the base of the rock face, the water collects in several travertine pools. Beneath the waterfall, the calcareous water encrustes the slope down to the Subersach River. Plant and animal remains are covered and encrusted by the lime. After the organic matter dissolves, an exact imprint (fossils) remains. The resulting porous, sponge-like rock is called travertine, the denser form being travertine.

Tufa is a light, porous rock that is easy to work. It has proven itself in the past as a building material – especially for stables and vaulted structures. Tufa was used in the construction of the nearby Baroque St. Anna Chapel, which dates from 1722.
