🕵️ The Story

Behind Feldkirch's proud walls lies far more than just idyllic romance. This city was once the strategic jewel of the Counts of Montfort – a place rife with power struggles, valiant knights, and resourceful citizens. But who actually guarded the Mill Gate? What secret does the imposing Schattenburg Castle, which has towered over the streets for centuries, keep hidden?

Why do you find details in St. Nicholas Cathedral that one would never expect to find there? And what's the story behind the cat tower – was there really an army of cats here, or is there something else entirely behind it?

Follow the traces of history from the ultramodern Montforthaus to deep into the winding alleys of "Im Kehr." Solve tricky puzzles, discover hidden coats of arms on the city gates, and uncover the legends that make Feldkirch one of the most exciting places in the border region of four countries.

ixpirity - Tips

Culinary icon: The legendary Schattenburg schnitzel 🏰

A visit to Feldkirch without a meal at Schattenburg Castle is like visiting Vienna without its Ferris wheel. The castle tavern is famous far beyond the borders of Vorarlberg for its enormous, pan-fried schnitzels. Find a seat in the rustic knights' rooms or the idyllic courtyard and soak up the medieval atmosphere. Pro tip: The portions are truly massive – perfect for sharing after a successful scavenger hunt!

Sweet break at the market square ☕

Feldkirch's market square, with its charming arcades, exudes an almost Italian flair. Treat yourself to a break in one of the traditional cafés, such as Café Hecht or Unikat, and watch the lively scene unfold. If you're lucky, the weekly market (Tuesdays and Saturdays) might be taking place, where you can sample regional specialties like Vorarlberg mountain cheese directly from the dairies.

Panoramic views & animal encounters in the wildlife park 🦌

If you're still in the mood for nature after your scavenger hunt, take a walk up to the Feldkirch Wildlife Park on the Ardetzenberg. The climb is rewarded with a fantastic view over the Rhine Valley. In the park itself, you'll encounter ibex, lynx, and marmots – and best of all: admission is free! It's the perfect place to relax and reflect on the day's adventures.
