Bad Rothenbrunnen in the Walser Valley
The heritage-protected
A real gem in the centre of the Großes Walsertal biosphere reserve. The healing waters of Rothenbrunnen were mentioned in documents as early as 1460. The spring rises 500 metres above the Rothenbrunnen restaurant on the banks of the Matona river. A water analysis revealed that it is an excellent mineral water (calcium-magnesium-sulphate water). Ideally suited for bathing and drinking cures for rheumatic diseases, chronic liver damage, mild cases of diabetes and gallbladder problems. The iron precipitate, which colours the spring water red-brown, gave the spring its name. The venerable guest house and restaurant can be reached on foot in 15 minutes and is really worth a detour!

Principality of Liechtenstein with Vaduz Castle
Vaduz, one of the most important financial centres in Europe, impresses with its mixture of prestigious bank buildings and trust companies on the one hand and cosy-looking traditional buildings and farmhouses on the other.

Rappenloch Schlucht Dornbirn
The Rappenloch and Alploch Gorges in Dornbirn are among the largest gorges in Central Europe. They were carved into the hard limestone by the flowing waters of the Dornbirner Ach river over 100,000 years. Today, adventurous footbridges lead through them and past extraordinary rock formations.
The entrance to the Rappenloch Gorge can be reached in 10 minutes from Gütle. The gorge is one of the largest gorges in Central Europe. Since a rockslide in May 2011, the old path is no longer accessible. A new one leads along the edge of the Rappenloch Gorge, guaranteeing breathtaking views of the gorge and the rockfall. Can easily be combined with the Roys Royce Museum.

Jewish Museum Hohenems
The Jewish Museum Hohenems, a regional museum with an international reputation, commemorates the Jewish community of Hohenems and its diverse contributions to the development of Vorarlberg and the surrounding regions. It tells an exemplary story of the diaspora. And it deals with the Jewish present in Europe, questioning coexistence and migration. In between stands the end of the Jewish community of Hohenems, marked by the regional Nazi history, anti-Semitism, expulsion and deportation. The permanent exhibition in the Villa Heimann-Rosenthal, built in 1864, documents the history of the Jewish community of Hohenems, which existed for over three centuries until its annihilation during the Nazi era. It also tells of the beginnings of the post-war period.
Bregenzer Festspiele
Experience an unforgettable journey into the world of art and culture at the renowned Bregenz Festival. Every year, impressive opera performances are presented with passion and dedication on the largest lake stage in the world, in the Festspielhaus and on the Werkstattbühne, enchanting your senses and transporting you into a world full of emotions.
The first Bregenz Festival Week took place one year after the end of the Second World War. Visitors from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and France turned the festival into an international event in its very first year. Four years later, the Bregenz Festival was given its first permanent lake stage on wooden pillars. In 1979, the lake stage was finally renovated and enlarged, and in 1980 the Festival Theatre was opened. In 1998, the Festival opened the doors to a comprehensive programme expansion with the Lake Stage, the Great Hall in the Festival Theatre and the new Workshop Stage, with a total of 12,000 theatre seats available since then. The play on the lake is shown every two summers.

Vorarlberger Landesmuseum
Located between the lake and the city centre, within immediate proximity of the Kunsthaus and Landestheater, the architectural masterpiece, the new Vorarlberg Museum, forms the end of the cultural mile. Since its reopening in 2013, the museum has won prizes for its concept and architecture. Inspired by Terra Sigillata vessels, Roman ceramics from the museum's collection, the artists used the base of standard PET bottles as a mould and provided the outer wall of the museum with a structure that appears random at first glance, but is in fact calculated using a complex mathematical process.
