About this place
The picturesque Bregenz Forest region in Vorarlberg attracts with alpine nature, traditional wooden houses, and excellent hiking trails.
Bregenzerwald, the Bregenz Forest, is a charming alpine valley in the state of Vorarlberg. This region is renowned for its unspoiled nature, typical wooden houses with richly decorated gables, and a strong craft tradition. The area is ideal for hiking and cycling, with a dense network of marked trails for all difficulty levels.
The cultural wealth of Bregenzerwald lies in its unique architecture, preserved in many villages such as Schwarzenberg, Bezau, or Egg. You can also visit interesting museums, such as the Angelika Kauffmann Museum in Schwarzenberg, dedicated to the famous painter. For cheese lovers, tasting local specialties, especially cheese from alpine pastures, is a must.
For Czech tourists, Bregenzerwald is easily accessible by car via Germany (route through Munich and Lindau) or by train to Bregenz and then by bus. We recommend a visit in summer when traditional festivals and markets take place, but in winter the region also offers quiet ski areas away from the main tourist crowds. Don't forget to get the Bregenzerwald Card for discounts on cable cars and admissions.
