!!!Bezegg

Bezegg Pass, Vorarlberg, pass in the Bregenzerwald mountain region, 
alt. 900 m, between Bezau and Andelsbuch, one of the most famous 
places in Vorarlberg with the "Bezegg-Sul", built by F.v. Schmidt in 
commemoration of the wooden town hall which was dismantled in 1807. In 
the old town hall, the freely elected Landammann (governor) and 
Council settled the affairs of the Bregenzerwald region. The town 
hall, seat of the "Waelderparlament" (local parliament), was erected 
on four high stone pillars, the only way of access being through a 
trapdoor via a ladder, which was taken away until all matters had been 
settled.
