Gebhardsberg

South of Bregenz rises the Gebhardsberg (600m/1,970ft; path through forests) with the ruins of Burg Hohenbregenz which was destroyed by the Swedes in 1647, and an 18th C. pilgrimage chapel with frescos added about 1900. From the Burgrestaurant there are magnificent views of the town, the lake and the Rhine valley. A climb southwards along the "Ferdinand-Kinz-Weg" is worthwhile.
