A high Vorarlberg pass between Warth and the Bregenzerwald.

The Bregenzerwaldstraße over the Hochtannberg at 1,676 m links Warth and the Bregenzerwald, a sweeping high road through alpine meadow beneath the Widderstein, often snow-walled into early summer. Flowing and scenic; mind the coaches, the cyclists, and late-season snow on the top.
