Reuthe brings together regional history, distinctive natural features and a range of activities. The parish and church offer a glimpse into the area's history; Schnell-Vorsäß adds a destination of its own. There are also two natural healing resources, the diverse plant life of the raised bog, a network of winter trails and a cycling route. You can shape your stay around culture, nature or outdoor activities.

Church and Parish History

The parish of Reuthe is the oldest parish in the Bregenzerwald area within the Winterstaude region. The Church of St James the Elder was built in 1284 by farmers from the surrounding area. This brings together a regional historical context and a church with a precisely dated construction. The year and the builders refer to the church, while the historical classification refers to the parish. If you are interested in history, you can distinguish between these two aspects: the parish's place in the Bregenzerwald area within the Winterstaude region, and a specific building with a date and a named group of builders.

A Destination with Its Own Character

Schnell-Vorsäß in Reuthe is a destination featuring sun-weathered huts and a small chapel. It offers a different perspective from the parish and church history: here, the huts and chapel define the destination's character, while the church is associated with its construction in 1284 and the parish with its place in the Bregenzerwald area. For those interested in culture, Reuthe offers two distinct perspectives: the history of the parish and church, and the architectural character of a destination.

Moorland and Natural Healing Resources

Reuthe has a healing moor and an iron spring; together, they make up two natural healing resources. The raised bog is notable for its unique diversity of plant life. These natural features offer different points of interest: the healing moor and iron spring are healing resources, while the raised bog is defined by its plant diversity. If nature is your focus, you can appreciate these features separately rather than combining them into a single theme.

Winter Trail Network and Cycling Route

The cross-country skiing and winter hiking trail network in Reuthe connects with those in the surrounding municipalities. Cross-country skiing and winter hiking are therefore part of a network that extends beyond a single municipality. When planning your winter stay, you can decide whether to focus on cross-country skiing, winter hiking or both; the connections with neighbouring municipalities are another distinctive feature of the network.

The Bregenzerwald Cycle Route continues from Mellau along the L 200 in the direction of Bezau and reaches the edge of Reuthe-Baien via quiet side roads. The cycling route and winter trail network offer different points of reference for planning: for the cycling route, Mellau, the direction of Bezau and the edge of Reuthe-Baien are relevant; for the winter trail network, the focus is on the two activities and its connections with surrounding municipalities. Temporary roadworks or the surface condition may affect use of the cycling route. Check these conditions before setting off.
