Furkajoch | 1761 METER | Laterns Damüls

The Furkajoch is a mountain pass with an altitude of 1761 metres and a gradient of up to 14% in the Alps (Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps). It is located in Austria (federal state of Vorarlberg) and connects the valley of the Bregenzer Ach (Bregenzerwald) near Damüls with the valley of the Frutz (Laternsertal) near Laterns. The Furkajoch is a pass crossing with an old but purely local significance. The pass road was developed accordingly simply and until recently was little more than a dirt road. It was only a few years ago that a modern, narrow road was built over the Furkajoch, which is popular with motorcyclists and closed in winter.
