Pfänder
@alexandracote
Easy to get to by car or cable car. Great for awesome views over the entire area or if you want to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks. There's also a small animal park.

Tante Emma Tea Room & Bistro

Not in Vorarlberg, but an authentic British stop as you're going to Kleinwalsertal [i.e. where the Gerd am Herd restaurant is].

Überlingen
@alexandracote
Cozy town if you're leaving Austria via this direction. I recommend stopping at the Fischhaus Löwenzunft for a quick lunch [ask for a tuna steak at least].

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Alexandra Cote
Hi everyone,
I'm Alexandra. I was born and raised in Romania and I'm currently based... well, everywhere.
I'm a digital nomad travelling slowly by settling in one place at a time for several months.
I travel with my partner and we enjoy anything relaxing, interesting, and new. We don't visit a lot of cities and instead opt for more off-the-beaten destinations that allow us to really experience life like the locals do.
My guides always include places we've been to several times. They focus on places we've loved so my recommendations are always very close to my heart.
What to expect in my guides:
- lots of nature
- places you won't find in other guides
- good food and drinks
- lots of road trip options
- alternatives for nearby places you can't miss
- only authentic and memorable spots that are worth it
I've started my Thatch account because I couldn't find good guides for places we were going to stay in. So expect to find everything here now!
Hope you'll enjoy your travels!
