Photo points on the VogellisiBerg
While the youngsters forget the time, the rest of the family can enjoy another highlight: the three impressive photo points on the VogellisiBerg. The floating «SkyNest» woven from willow on Sillerenbühl, the «GiantWings» eagle wings designed by local artist Björn Zryd at the Bergläger middle station or the oversized «BirdsNest» eagle's nest at the Höchst chairlift mountain station - the photo points surprise with new perspectives and make for memorable snapshots in the family album.
