Der Sagenwanderweg erzählt von Sagen und Legenden, die sich im Montafon oft um die früher am Kirstberg und Bartholomäberg ansässigen Bergleute drehten, aber auch um christliche Ereignisse und moralische Verfehlungen. Entlang von spannenden Schauplätzen im einstigen Bergbaugebiet, verläuft der Weg meist im schattigen Wald, bietet aber auch schöne Ausblicke ins Verwall und ins Silbertal.
