Bizau brings cultural discoveries together with trails through its cultural landscape and winter sports. This offers different ways to plan your trip: you can plan around a specific hiking duration, discover landscape features in the Bizauer Moos, or distinguish between local trails and those connected to the wider region. The parish church, parish history and traditional Kilbe festival add cultural points of interest to these outdoor activities.
Cultural Landscape and Local History
Bizau’s parish church is dedicated to Saint Valentine. In 1684, after separating from the mother church, Bizau became an independent parish. In 1684, after separating from the mother church, Bizau became an independent parish.
The traditional Bizauer Kilbe festival takes place in Bizau every year on the first Sunday in September. If your visit coincides with this date, you can include the Kilbe in your plans as a specific occasion.
The trails of the Umgang Bregenzerwald also draw attention to the cultural landscape: around ten information pillars highlight buildings, distinctive landscape features, and details of craftsmanship or ecology. If you are interested in buildings and their surroundings, this offers a theme that extends beyond individual structures.
Hiking Trails with Different Points of Interest
The round trip on the Barefoot Trail takes about an hour. This timeframe can help you fit the trail into your day. The Moosrunde, by contrast, leads to a specific destination: the Bizauer Moos. The characteristic “Hag” (fence) and the litter meadows are worth seeing there.
The GeiĂźerweg offers a different experience. It is a themed trail above Bizau that you can explore as part of a guided hike. The trails therefore differ in the details most useful for planning: the approximate duration for the Barefoot Trail, the destination for the Moosrunde, and the themed route above the village, including its guided-hike context, for the GeiĂźerweg.
Accessible parking spaces for wheelchair users are available in Bizau village center. If you require accessible parking, check the situation on site.
