geology
The Bocksberg is part of the Säntis ceiling of the Helvetic ceiling system , which extends beneath the Rhine plain into the Eastern Alps. The distinctive rock breaks are due to the typical Helvetic alternation between hard and soft rock. The rock walls consist of hard Schrattenkalk .
Landscape and nature conservation
Around the jagged, mostly wooded head lies a belt of crags and small flutes. The Bocksbergalpe lies on the eastern flank, while the Hackwald , an extensively used pasture and an impressive, elongated and richly structured rock face can be found on the south side .
A rock face in the south of the Bocksberg including the calcareous debris at its foot are registered in the Vorarlberg biotope inventory under number 30139 .
Development, use and tourism
The easiest way to the summit leads from Ebnit over the Hackwald and the Bocksbergalpe. Another, more difficult path to walk leads from the Emser Hütte or Schuttannen over the west ridge and is equipped with ladders.
