Discover Bizau: Trails, Moos and Living Traditions

Bizau combines experiences in nature with regional culture and offers various ways to spend a day on holiday. Walking and themed trails lead through the landscape, while the parish church, Kilbe festival and the special features of Bizau Moos provide insights into the village and its surroundings.

Trails through the landscape and cultural landscape

The Moosrunde trail leads into Bizau Moos. The typical “Hag”, meaning a fence, and the litter meadows are well worth seeing there. These details also make the landscape interesting for travellers who are not only looking for a sporty route but also want to experience the character of the surroundings consciously.

Along the trails of the Umgang Bregenzerwald, around ten information pillars draw attention to buildings, features of the cultural landscape, and craft and ecological details. This makes it possible to combine a hike with short thematic stops. The Geißerweg trail is located above Bizau and can be discovered as part of a guided hike. When planning, it is therefore important to consider whether you want to explore a trail independently or plan a guided experience.

The barefoot trail also provides a clear indication of the time required: The walk there and back takes about one hour. This can be helpful when planning your day if you want to leave time for further experiences in addition to a short nature excursion. There are also accessible parking spaces for wheelchair users in the centre of Bizau.

Winter activities in Bizau

In winter, Hirschberg offers a special opportunity for ski tourers. After the ascent, the descent takes you on touring skis with skins through magnificent slopes and over former ski pistes. Those planning a trip focused on ski touring can take this priority into account when looking for accommodation in Bizau.

For cross-country skiing and skating, Bizau offers around 8.5 kilometres of trails in a magnificent and sunny landscape. The Bizau trail is connected to the trails in the neighbouring municipalities of Reuthe and Bezau; altogether, this creates a cross-country skiing network of around 33 kilometres. This provides different route options for an active winter day without restricting your stay to just one type of sport.

Church, history and living traditions

The parish church of Bizau is dedicated to Saint Valentine. The year 1684 marked an important turning point in the village’s history: After separating from the mother church, Bizau became an independent parish. Those interested in sacred buildings and the historical development of a village will find a cultural point of reference here, regardless of the season.

The traditional Bizau Kilbe is also part of the local traditions. It takes place in Bizau on the first Sunday of every September. This fixed date can play a role in travel planning if you would like to combine your stay with a regional custom. At other times of year, the trails, Bizau Moos, cultural history and seasonal outdoor activities remain independent reasons to discover Bizau.
