Strengen combines a village centre that is still relatively well preserved with a hike to the Dawinalpe. Historic buildings, walks through flower-filled high meadows and a seasonal toboggan run offer a variety of experiences. When planning your trip, you can decide whether local history, the moderately challenging hike or a winter activity should take centre stage.

Architectural history in the village centre

Strengen’s village centre is still relatively well preserved and combines Romanesque-influenced stone houses with Bavarian-style wooden houses. This blend makes the different building styles a subject in their own right, alongside the natural attractions. If you are interested in architecture, you can look out for the contrast between stone and timber construction, exploring the village from a different perspective than its hiking options offer.

The Rosanna Bridge in Strengen is also part of the area’s architectural history. It was built in 1764 as a combined beam and suspended truss bridge and is a protected monument. Its year of construction and design give the bridge a specific place in local history; its protected status is another point of interest for those interested in cultural heritage.

The religious buildings also represent different periods: St. Martin’s Parish Church in Strengen dates from the 14th century, while the Mariahilf pilgrimage chapel was built in 1957. These dates refer to two different buildings constructed many centuries apart. Strengen also lies between Landeck and the Arlberg on an old Roman road. This historical perspective therefore extends from the village centre and individual buildings to the area’s position on a route of regional importance.

Hike to the Dawinalpe

The hike to the Dawinalpe starts at the church in Strengen. It heads east along the village street to the hamlet of Hof, then continues on Trail No. 1. The moderately challenging hike from Strengen to the Dawinalpe in the Lechtal Alps takes about two hours and reaches an elevation of 1,819 m. The approximate duration helps you fit the hike into your day; the difficulty level and elevation add further details to help you understand what to expect. As trail conditions can change, check the latest information before setting out.

High meadows, a pond and a toboggan run

Walks through flower-filled high meadows are another way to explore the landscape around Strengen. The scenery can vary depending on the season. Egger Weiher, a natural pond, lies above Strengen. Together, the high meadows and pond offer different ways to experience the landscape: walks through flower-filled meadows in one place, and a naturally formed body of water above the village in another.

There is also a 1 km toboggan run near Egger Weiher. Its operation depends on snow and weather conditions. Planning therefore differs from the hike to the Dawinalpe: the hike’s duration, difficulty and elevation offer guidance, while snow and weather determine whether the toboggan run is open. Check trail conditions before setting out, and check the latest information before tobogganing.
