Directions

The start is the church at Bartholomäberg. (1087 m) Here also begins directly the first ascent towards the historic mine (the highlight of the route). Initially still on the paved road, after the third hairpin bend, you turn from Roferweg onto a hiking trail. This trail frequently crosses the paved road and finally leads you to the historic mine. When you reach the historic mine (1,320 m) after about 50 minutes, you have already completed the majority of the ascent.

From the mine, it continues to Fritzensee, which is truly a place of longing with a fantastic view into the Rätikon of the Drei Türme and Zimba. A break to enjoy on a bench by the lake is definitely recommended. Then it continues towards Rellseck. There you reach the highest point of the route, 1,495 m. The Alpengasthaus Rellseck is located at 1,500 meters and is worth a visit at any time of year. Due to its unique location, it is considered one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Montafon. From Legi, you now return to the church at Bartholomäberg.

Equipment

Ankle-high shoes with a good tread sole as well as weather-appropriate clothing.

During a guided tour in the mine, protective clothing will be provided to you. However, you should be aware that the temperature in the mine is constantly +8°C. Therefore, warm clothing should be carried if a mine visit is planned.

Tips

The mountain breakfast at the Alpengasthaus Rellseck is highly recommended.

The Baroque church Bartholomäberg – it is considered one of the most remarkable churches in Vorarlberg.
