!!!Flexenpass

Flexen Pass, Flexensattel, Vorarlberg, alt. 1,773 m, mountain pass at 
the western end of the Lechtaler Alps, crossed by the Flexenstrasse 
route. The road consists almost entirely of tunnels which protect it 
against avalanches and falling rock. It branches off from the Arlberg 
road above Stuben (near Rauz, alt. 1,621 m) and runs north via Zurs 
and Lech to Warth, linking the upper Kloster valley with the upper 
Lech valley. First built in 1895-1900, it was widened and improved in 
subsequent years.
