Schönauer Hof

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for his prolific output across a variety of instruments and forms, including the orchestral Brandenburg Concertos; solo instrumental works such as the Cello Suites and Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin; keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations and The Well-Tempered Clavier; organ works such as the Schübler Chorales and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor; and choral works such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. He is known for his mastery of counterpoint, as heard in The Musical Offering and The Art of Fugue. Felix Mendelssohn precipitated the Bach Revival with a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829. Ever since, Bach has been acclaimed as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music.

Bach is surrounded by majestic mountains, making it an ideal location for hiking, biking, and skiing. There are countless trails to explore, ranging from easy walks to challenging treks. The Lechweg path, a long-distance hiking trail, passes through Bach and offers stunning views of the Lech river and the surrounding mountains.

If you're a winter sports enthusiast, Bach has plenty to offer as well. The town is located near several ski resorts, including the popular Arlberg ski area. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced skier, you'll find plenty of runs to suit your skill level.
