Hiking on the ridgeway ('Hoehenweg') from Scheidegg to the mountain Pfaender - the classic

The day trip to the Pfaender starts at the spa house in Scheidegg. There we follow the official signage to Oberschwenden. Already at the beginning of the tour, we cover the first heights. At the parking lot of the Prinz-Luitpold children'S hospital, we leave the forest and pass the village Oberschwenden. We follow the trail uphill to the skywalk allgaeu. There we can enjoy the beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. From the panoramic trail in the trees we hike downhill to Moeggers bearing left. On the way to the village we cross the boarder. There's a short ascent shortly before we reach the  village Moeggers in Vorarlberg. There we get to the chapel of St. Ulrich which is a beautiful viewpoint of Lake Constance because of its elevated position. In Moeggers we bear left and hike uphill covering a parking lot until we reach the mountain Hochberg. Starting there, we hike downhill on a paved road. At the next crossroads we choose the gravel path towards the Pfänder. We leave the forest and reach a steep pathway. We stay on the ridgeway and hike pass two gates until we get own a downhill way to Moos. We then take a frequented road towards the Pfaender which can be recognised from a distance because of its remarkable red and white radio tower.We can follow the well signposted way to the mountain station of the Pfaenderbahn whence a narrow path steeply uphill leads us to the top of the local mountain of Bregenz. On the Pfaender there are some inns, a playground for families, a wildlife park and a fascinating eagle show. The best thing about this versatile range is the wonderful view of the alps and the whole area of Lake Constance. The Pfaenderbahn takes us from the mountain to Bregenz on lake level. There we can drive by ferry, bus or train back to our starting point.
The day trip can also lead from the Pfaender to Scheidegg.
