Sulzberg

Sulzberg is a mountain peak in the Bregenzerwald region of Vorarlberg that rises above the surrounding valleys and Alpine areas. The location sits at roughly 1100 meters elevation and is reached through marked hiking paths that pass through typical Alpine landscapes.

Sulzberg first appeared in written records in 1249 when local inhabitants supplied dairy products to the Count of Bregenz. This early mention shows the region was already an established center of Alpine dairy farming.

The parish church of St. Laurentius shapes the village appearance with its 1828 expansion designed by Alois Negrelli. It displays the architectural style of the imperial period that was typical in this region.

The hiking trails to the summit are clearly marked and most passable during the warmer months. It is wise to bring weather-resistant clothing and be prepared for changing Alpine conditions, as weather shifts quickly in mountainous terrain.

Near the summit stands the St. Leonhard Chapel built in 1497, which served as a horse stable during the Thirty Years' War. This small structure carries visible traces of this unusual past, making it a noteworthy detail in the mountain landscape.
