The Pfänder is a mountain in western Austria close to Lake Constance (German: Bodensee). The city of Bregenz lies at the foot of the mountain on the shores of the lake. With its views over the lake and the surrounding mountain peaks, the Pfänder is one of the most famous lookout points of the region.
With good visibility, the view from the summit reaches from the Allgäu and Lech valley Alps in the east, over to the Bregenz Forest, the steep mountain peaks of Arlberg region, Silvretta, and the Rätikon to the Swiss mountains and the foothills of the Black Forest in the west. Below is Lake Constance, surrounded by the Rhine valley and the Swabian hills.
A radio tower designated BREGENZ 1 is located near the peak of the Pfänder, standing 95 meters tall. It is operated by the Österreichische Rundfunksender (Austrian Broadcasting Services) and transmits television, DAB and analogue radio services.[1]
The mountain is a popular tourist destination, with hiking paths, an alpine wildlife park[2] and restaurants.
