Sporty finale: the sunset hike from the valley station of the Andelsbuch mountain railways to the local mountain "Niedere".

The sunset hike begins at the valley station of the Andelsbuch cable car. Here you first follow the signpost along the road in the direction of Äschach. After a few meters, after a residential building, turn right and follow the footpath in the direction of "Niedere". The path first zigzags under the chairlift before turning into a supply road at the middle station. From here, the hike is still written as about 1.5 hours. On top of Andelsbuch's local mountain "Niedere" there is a beautiful view in all directions - far over Lake Constance, the Allgäu Alps, over the Rätikon and over the Swiss mountains. You can return the same way or by chairlift (operating times of the Andelsbuch mountain railways at: www.bergbahnen-andelsbuch.at
