Gravel bike holiday in the Bregenz Forest

The Gravelbike Eldorado Bregenz Forest begins where the Eastern Alps meet the Western Alps. Between the forest and the world, it's time to get off the beaten track: Get off the tarmac and onto the gravel! This is the perfect way to discover the tranquillity and unspoilt nature of the mountains and valleys in the Bregenz Forest in all their beauty. On the tours over hill and dale, you will discover one or two special features of the landscape on a gravel bike holiday in the Bregenz Forest, such as the Plenter forests. But also one or two architectural peculiarities. Wood in its most beautiful forms. In the midst of pure nature, you will come across undiscovered corners and pretty villages. The motto here is simple: cycle as far as your legs will take you, take a deep breath and enjoy.

Small but mighty between forest & world

Bike trousers on, helmet on - off you go into the Bregenz Forest gravel fun! Where old meets new and traditional wooden architecture meets contemporary design, you can enjoy steep mountain rides or gentle leisurely tours through the traditional cultural landscape of 23 villages. The region at the 4-country corner is all about pleasant understatement - away from the crowds, neither hustle nor bustle awaits you on a gravel holiday in the Bregenz Forest.

In keeping with the motto "small but mighty", the region in the west of Austria scores with exciting tours away from the tarmac across meadows, forest and woodland paths. Here, the tarmac quickly turns to gravel on a gravel bike and the plain becomes a mountain landscape. With so many possibilities, you can bike in the 4-country corner around Lake Constance to Germany, Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Borders? Not important in the Bregenz Forest! We enjoy gravelling through the Mellental nature reserve, follow the Bregenzer Ache river or find summit happiness on the Mörzelspitze.

Highlights for your gravel bike holiday

  • Into the wold: the gravel bike & pleasure festival
  • Flowing forest trails, gravel paths and panoramic mountain routes from Lake Constance to Hochtannberg
  • Exceed (your) limits while biking at the 4-country corner
