Trails and Scenery
The Börwang hiking trail follows the ridge along the Börwanger Steige. Another prominent landscape feature is the highest elevation in the municipality of Haldenwang, in Kronholz at 916 metres. For planning, the route details give a distance and walking time for each trail; when choosing between them, you can start by considering how much time you want to set aside for a hike.
Cross-Country Skiing in Winter, Natural Swimming Pool Nearby
In winter, the municipality of Haldenwang offers three cross-country ski trails with different levels of difficulty. They are groomed for both classic style and skating. Snow conditions vary, so check the current conditions before setting out. When planning, the season is just as important as the length of the hiking trails.
The Haldenwang natural swimming pool is nearby, between Haldenwang and Börwang. It has a large swimming pool, two non-swimmer pools, a heated pool for babies and children, and two diving boards. The facilities also include an extensive sunbathing lawn, a play area and a sandpit. The pool operates seasonally. So check the operator’s latest information before visiting; published opening hours should not be taken as a guarantee that the pool will be open on the day of your visit.
History Along the Local Hiking Trail Network
Sights along the municipality’s hiking trail network include the parish church of St. Theodor and Alexander in Haldenwang and the Leonhardskapelle in Börwang. At the Börwang Local History Museum, a faithful model of the former castle complex with its palace illustrates the history of Wagegg. Alongside the trails and scenic features, this brings specific historical points of interest in the municipality into focus.
The different walking times provide a simple guide when planning your stay: you can choose a shorter trail or plan one of the longer circular hikes. In winter, you can also choose between the three ski trails, while the natural swimming pool is a seasonal option nearby. Plan your day according to what is available and the current conditions.
