The Faschinajoch is a mountain pass in the Alps ( Eastern Alps , Northern Limestone Alps ) at 1486 m above sea level . It is located in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg and connects the valley of the Bregenzer Ach ( Bregenz Forest ) near Damüls with the valley of the Lutz ( Großes Walsertal ) near Faschina .

Faschina Straße (formerly Bundesstraße 193, now L 193) leads over the pass, which is well-developed and winter-proof . The eastern part of the route is very popular with motorcyclists .

The Faschinajoch gets its name from 'Fassia', which means 'a strip of meadow'. This is first mentioned in a document as 'Vaschin' in 1482. At that time, most of the alpine pastures were already in use on the crossing; It is reported from later years that a house stood on the top of the pass, which was continuously occupied not only in summer but also in winter. A small chapel dedicated to Holy Mother Anna was also attached to this house.
