Tourbeschreibung

The Gypsum Path leads right into the mining history of St. Anton im Montafon, where gypsum was mined on a large scale below the Davennastock from the late 19th century until 1977. From the village, it goes leisurely up the old access road to the gypsum works and back down into the valley through a shady forest path. At the Tränenbächle, tired hiking feet can be nicely cooled down.

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit and continue on the Montafonerstraße L188 to St.Anton im Montafon.

Just leave your car parked

Regional buses operate throughout the Montafon. The main lines run every half hour from Schruns station.

Bus stop for start/finish of the route: St.Anton im Montafon Municipal Office or St. Anton im Montafon station

Hiking car park St.Anton im Montafon

Along the Mühlibach, the route starts quietly and leisurely along the former access road uphill towards the gypsum quarry. In the Prazalanz area, it goes downhill again on the forest road before returning along a shady forest path towards our starting point. On the way back, you can get a good overview of the scale of gypsum mining in St. Anton im Montafon, recognize the two supports of the old material cableway, and learn more about the history of gypsum mining in the Montafon.
