This walking tour offers insights into the architecture and community planning of 12 traditional villages in the Bregenzerwald.

While walking over various landscapes, visiting public buildings, homes and everyday objects, walkers gain a comprehensive overview of typical Bregenzerwald architectural styles as they developed throughout the ages.

The nine buildings chosen for the walking tour in Schoppernau include the Alpine Cheese Dairy (Bergkäserei), several farmhouses, an old sawmill, the fire department, and the primary school.

The 19th century half-timbered farmhouses in Schoppernau present many typical features of the unique Bregenzerwald farm architecture, particularly their joined timber beams sealed with moss.

[3] The parish church Schoppernau was built in 1710 by the architect Johann Brenner von Gräsalp (1664-1749).
