The Tannberg – Discovering The First Settlers Of Lech
Culture, history and hiking combined. Who would have thought that that is possible? With the corresponding book you can discover the history of the "Walser" you cam all the way from Switzerland to the Arlberg. They settled the area about 700 years ago! Until today there are settlements and houses are evident of that though swiss people.
The Green Ring - The White Ring
Maybe you have heard of "The White Ring" before? The longest ski race in the world where everyone can compete. It is pretty much the same thing just without the race and in summer. Actually it is a tad more bewitching. In three stages you walk along mountains and over saddles all around Lech and Zürs. There is a book that will keep you company along the way that is telling you the stories that are hiding within the mountainous nature. It is a themed hike you are not going to find anywhere else, but in Lech am Arlberg.
The Green Riddle Ring - For Little Detectives
The green riddle ring is for little and tall riddle lovers. Every detective gets a work book with which they have to work closely to get closer to the secrets of fantastic tales.
Up here in the mountains the ancient old knowledge of herbs is still alive. It has been passed down from generation to generation: the powder of herbs and plants. We call them herb witches, but don't be afraid they do not fly around on their brooms, although some of them do have black cats... They love to share their knowledge about wild herbs, roots and flowers. Interesting side fact there are over 10 different types of orchid growing in the Arlberg mountains!
