The House
Centrally Located, Surrounded by Nature
Haus Kammern is a beautifully restored traditional wooden home on a gentle hillside with impressive views of the Bregenzerach river and mountains. It has 2 spacious, self catering apartments, each spread out over an entire floor of the house. The spaces are completely private and have their own charming style.
The outside of the house is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The backyard has outdoor seating, sun lounges and a grill.
There is parking in front of the house and an attached barn that offers safe storage for bikes or winter equipment. Inside there’s also a ski boot dryer.
Egg is in the middle of the Bregenz Forest and is also the largest village in the region. You’ll find all conveniences, such as grocery stores, bakeries, shopping, restaurants, swimming pool, hiking & biking trails and a bus stop in less than a 10-minutes’ walk.
Most of the region’s top ski resorts are a 15-30 minute drive. And if you drive approximately 30 minutes in the other direction, you’ll be in Bregenz, Dornbirn, Germany or Switzerland.
In summer, the nearby alpine meadows of Schetteregg are excellent for biking or hiking. In winter, it’s a perfect little ski area for young families. The area also offers great snow shoe or winter hiking trails.
Bregenz Forest
Bregenzerwald
Tradition
Wälder, as local people are called, are loyal to their customs. Each village has its own dialect, traditions and special ways of doing things. They’re a proud people with a certain stubbornness. The saying, “You can take a Wälder out of the forest but you can’t take the forest out of the Wälder….” says it all.
Culture
The history and cultural identity of the Bregenzerwälder, and their deep understanding of local resources, has led to a unique way of thinking. Their ideas, especially when creating a product, are singular and of the highest quality – from handcrafts to architecture to cuisine.
Nature
To appreciate the Bregenz Forest, you need to adopt to the pace of nature. The secret is patience and slowing down. This region sneaks up on you. It’s so straight forward it seems unreal. Breath in fresh cut grass or experience untouched glittering snow fields. There’s no fuss, it’s just as it is.
