history
During the Battle of Frastanz on April 20, 1499, around 2000 Swiss soldiers under the leadership of Heini Wolleb were stopped at the Vorderälpele by around 300 Habsburg riflemen and 1500 men from Tyrolean miners. After a fierce struggle, the Tyroleans were overcome and driven down the mountainside. There these were wiped out by the main federal power at the Fellengatter . The chapels of St. Wolfgang in Tisis and Tosters and St. Wendelin in Frastanz were built to commemorate these acts of war. In the chapel of St. Wendelin in Frastanz, a sword and a halberd from the battle of Frastanz are said to have been kept under the porch in the 19th century .

Location, geography, topography, traffic
The large Amalug parcel and the Amerlugalpe are located on the Vorderälpele . The inconspicuous Amalugkopf (about 1480 m above sea level ) denotes an altitude located here.
The Vorderälpele is the northwesternmost part of the Rätikon . According to the orographic - hydrologically oriented mountain group structure for the Austrian cave directory , the Bregenzerwald Mountains west of the Bregenzer Ach form the main part of the 1110 Rhine Valley - Walgau - Bregenz Forest group , of which the Vorderälpele forms the outermost part.
On the eastern slope of the Vorderälpel, the Amerlügen parcel is located on a terrace at around 760 meters above sea level.
There is no public access to the Vorderälpele (but a private forest road that is subject to a fee). The Naturfreunde (Feldkirch local group) operate a material ropeway that leads from Amerlügen directly to the Naturfreundehütte.
Water supply
The Vorderälpele does not have a sufficient supply of water from sources that arise here. The necessary water is derived from Hinterälpele via a pipe, and since November 2019 the Friends of Nature have also had a private drinking water supply. The water for this is pumped from the elevated reservoir in Amerlügen from the public drinking water supply network of the market town of Frastanz over an altitude of around 500 meters . With the drinking water pipe, the Friends of Nature also laid a sewage pipe at their own expense, which now ensures an orderly sewerage system on the Vorderälpele.
