TIP 1
SCENIC JOURNEY THROUGH TIME BETWEEN ALPINE PASTURE, MOUNTAIN FARM AND ALPINE HAY
The annual farming routine in our region was and still is characterised by "nomadic" farming between the valley and the alpine pastures. The Alpgang is dedicated to this traditional way of farming. Time and space become legible on the Alpgang. Texts on alpine life and the cultural landscape are set in stones. The hike passes through 14 stations between Heimgut, Viehweide, Hutweide, Berggut, Heuwiesen, Vorsäss, Alpe, Hochalpe and Wildheumahd on the Sonnseite in Au. On the way to the mountain, people and societies gain in importance. Landscape becomes legible in time.
14 feet, in the Rehmer cattle pasture not quite 5 cattle, mark as signatures the stone path markers from Rehmen via Berngat and Berbigen, further over the saddle to Liegstein. From Liegstein in the saddle back again and towards Alpe Sattelegg, past Stöggele down to Wika. From Wika via Holand finally back to Rehmen. The signposts contain text panels on the landscape and everyday culture. For orientation, people on the Alpgang follow the small additional signs on the signposts.
