Vogt: Church Art and Hiking Routes

When looking for a hotel in Vogt, your travel interests may help you decide: St. Anna Parish Church represents architectural and art history, while Mosisgreut Castle is a historic ensemble. The V6 and V8 circular routes add two clearly measured hiking options. This makes it possible to choose your preferred focus—culture, local history, or outdoor activity—and take the route length into account before your trip.

Church Art at St. Anna

Today's St. Anna Parish Church in Vogt was consecrated on June 16, 1837, and built in the Finanzkammer style. The high altar features Baroque ornaments and cherubs from the 18th century. In 1908, Otto Traub of Zwiefalten painted the ceiling images “The Annunciation” and “St. Cecilia.” A bell dating from 1623 comes from Urspring Abbey. The furnishings span a period beyond the year of consecration: the bell and Baroque altar details are older, while the ceiling paintings, created in 1908, represent a later period.

Mosisgreut Castle and Other Highlights in Vogt

The origins of Mosisgreut Castle are traced back more than 800 years; it is located on the road from Vogt to Hannober in the Ravensburg district. The complex is considered an ensemble comprising a château-like residence, a chapel, and a barn.

Numerous natural monuments lie along the hiking trails in Vogt. Decorating Easter eggs is also a tradition in Vogt. Along with its buildings, the local highlights therefore include the landscape and customs.

V6 and the Vogt Sun Trail

Vogt V6 is an easy circular route covering 4.97 km; the circuit takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. It runs entirely on paved paths and is considered easy to walk in all weather conditions. V6 offers a view over Kremmelsmösle towards Vogt, between Reich and Eggen.

The Vogt Sun Trail (V8) is an easy circular hike covering 8.36 km. It leads from Le-Mayet-Platz through Vogt towards the edge of Altdofer Wald and offers views towards Wolfegg, Rötenbach, and Achtal. At Moser, the route can be shortened to about 5.4 km by taking the shared pedestrian and cycle path along the L324 directly to Vogt. At about 5.4 km, the shortened V8 is between the shorter V6 (4.97 km) and the complete V8 circuit (8.36 km) in length.
