Kanisfluh 2,044m
Composed of hard Helvetic limestone, this broad, imposing mountain is the symbol of the Bregenzerwald. Reaching a height of 2,044 m, the highest peak on the ridge is the "Holenke". The Alemannic word "Fluh", or cliff, refers to the near vertical north wall with its tortured rocky clefts and fissures. This contrasts dramatically with the gentle south side, which is perfect suited for ski tours.
