Regarding Restaurant "Gaststätte auf der Schwedenschanz": During the 30-year-war the Swedish General Carl Gustav Wrangel conquered Bregenz in 1647. He was coming from the Allgau via the Pfaender-ridge. As a defense facility Bregenz had built a redoubt, called "Schwedenschanze" where now the Restaurant stands. Some trenches of this redoubt are still there. The defense at this site militarily seen was difficult, because the Swedish could fire into the redoubt from higher situated mountains.
