Montafoner Verwall round | Silbertal to New Heilbronner Hut
Tour description
An idyllic high mountain route through the Verwall European protected area. It goes past the clear mountain lakes to the New Heilbronner Hut.
The Natura 2000 area “Verwall” is with approx. 120 km² the largest protected area in Vorarlberg. Transition is the characteristic of the Verwall. Because here is the transition from the Randel Alps to the Central Alps. This concerns both the rocks underground and the precipitation. On a small area, plants and habitats are interlocked here that appear strictly separated elsewhere.
Framed by the Klostertal, the Ill, and the Tyrolean state border, the European protected area encompasses a unique alpine habitat from the valley floor of the Litz to the two-thousand-metre peaks of the Verwall group. Here you find the largest larch-pine forests in Vorarlberg as well as numerous moors, lakes, extensive dwarf pine, alder and alpine rose bushes, colourful alpine meadows and rugged rock habitats. The seclusion and quiet of the area allows numerous endangered bird species and other wildlife to find undisturbed retreat areas here.
