The Schaftobel loop is a local route of the State of Vorarlberg, a good two kilometres long. It follows the small ravine with its stream, alternates between forest and meadows and returns to Bürserberg without any significant climbing. A good choice for a short leg-stretch on the way into the Brandnertal – for example before the Lünersee cable car ride or after a rainy day when longer tours are out of the question.
