The Alvier , also Alvierbach , is a mountain stream in Vorarlberg and flows through the Brandnertal to the Ill . The river flows through the communities of Brand and Bürs.
Over time, the water has dug numerous pools in the river bed in which brown trout and rainbow trout cavort. The clear, raging water is of drinking water quality .
Brand's pride is the 14 hectare Alvier-Bad . Aquatic plants filter pollutants from the pool water in a biological way, which reaches pleasant temperatures in summer.
