Breitenberg

Breitenberg rises to 1,105 meters above sea level, featuring steep limestone cliffs that extend over 600 meters vertically from the Vorarlberger Rheintal valley.

The mountain's quarries supplied essential construction materials, including gravel, stone blocks, and millstones, to the surrounding communities for several centuries.

The mountain forms part of the protected landscape area, reflecting local commitment to preserving natural heritage while maintaining traditional Alpine recreational activities.

Visitors can reach the mountain through a network of hiking trails that connect to nearby alpine pastures and cable car stations in the Bregenzerwaldgebirge range.

A geological monitoring system tracks potential rock movements in the Yellow Wall section, where unstable limestone formations require constant surveillance.
