Discover Strengen: Hiking, Landscapes and Historic Buildings

Strengen combines a distinctive townscape with hiking experiences and remarkable buildings. The village lies between Landeck and the Arlberg on an old Roman road.

Townscape and Buildings with a History of Their Own

The townscape of Strengen is still relatively well preserved. Romanesque-influenced stone houses stand alongside Bavarian wooden houses, giving the village a distinctive architectural character. When taking a stroll through Strengen, it is worth looking at the different forms of construction, as they illustrate the village’s organically developed appearance without requiring you to plan a lengthy outing.

One of the most prominent buildings is the Rosanna Bridge. It was built in 1764 as a combined beam and suspended truss bridge and is a listed monument. The parish church of St. Martin in Strengen, which dates from the 14th century, is also one of the historic points of interest. The Mariahilf pilgrimage chapel in Strengen was built in 1957. Together, these buildings provide different historical and architectural reference points for a culturally oriented stay.

Hiking to Dawinalpe

One specific tour leads from Strengen to Dawinalpe in the Lechtal Alps. The moderately difficult hike takes around two hours and reaches an altitude of 1,819 m. The route begins at the church in Strengen, follows the village road eastwards to the hamlet of Hof and then continues along Trail No. 1. This information helps you include a hike with a clearly defined route in your daily planning and take the approximate duration and the tour’s highest point into account.

Dawinalpe is therefore an option for an active day during your holiday, while the townscape and buildings offer a different focus. If you are travelling with varied interests, you can structure your days accordingly: a hike to Dawinalpe on the one hand, and a walk through Strengen with views of stone houses, wooden houses, the church and the bridge on the other. This allows you to search for a holiday apartment based on your preferred balance of activity and culture, without a single day determining your entire stay.

Landscape Around Strengen

The landscape around Strengen can be explored on walks through flower-rich high meadows. Above Strengen, you will also find Egger Weiher, a naturally formed body of water. A 1 km-long toboggan run is located near Egger Weiher. This means that, in addition to mountain hiking, shorter excursions with a different character are also available. You can take the length of the toboggan run into account when planning; no other properties or operating hours are implied by this figure.

If you would like to combine historical impressions with a hike, Strengen offers suitable themes for several days. If, on the other hand, you are looking for individual landscape experiences, the high meadows and Egger Weiher can serve as separate destinations within your travel plans. When choosing your holiday apartment, consider which activities you actually want to include and which focus is important to you for your stay in Strengen.
