The Alplochschlucht is a gorge walk through steep limestone walls in the forest above Dornbirn, Vorarlberg’s largest city. Free and always accessible; about 1.5 to 2.5 hours round trip on a rocky path that requires solid footwear. Can be closed after heavy rain due to rockfall; check local conditions. Dornbirn is on the Vorarlberg Bahn rail line with connections to Bregenz and Innsbruck. Combine with the Bregenzerwald valley for a full Vorarlberg day east of Lake Constance.
