From cow enclosures, goat house with visitors' gallery, small animal petting zone, herb garden, and high-tech cooling & heating system to cheese production, whey-based cosmetics production, and the farm shop - a visit to the Metzler family's farm is an impressive experience!

Schönenbach with Jagdgasthaus Egender
Located around 15 km from Schwarzenberg, it is only a stone's throw away by car. You can drive to Schönenbach on a small toll road. A high valley at the end of the road presents an absolutely breathtaking view: in front of you nestled in the wonderful natural scenery of the alpine pasture settlement of Schönenbach are ca. 30 huts at an elevation of almost 1,000 m. Here, there are no fences and no boundaries. In the early summer and in autumn, cows run around freely. It is their summer retreat in the pastures. In the middle of this indescribable idyll is a new house made of old materials that is as authentic and traditional as possible - Jagdgasthaus Egender. It is said they serve the best cheese spätzle in the world here. Whether this is true or not, no one can really say, but everyone who has eaten them swears that they are the best. If you are a fan of venison, we recommend the wild game specialties. Everything that is served here comes from the huge Schönenbach hunting area.
Bregenzerwälder Käsehaus in Andelsbuch
