Dornbirn

The landscape around Dornbirn is defined by the broad Rhine Valley and the rising foothills of the Bregenzerwald, which have shaped both its urban form and its economy. The Dornbirner Ach comes down from the mountains, crosses the city and continues across the valley toward Lake Constance, linking the compact centre with wooded slopes and upland hamlets. Dornbirn became an important Austrian textile-industry centre in the 19th century, a legacy still visible in its industrial districts and commercial character. The Dornbirner Messe, a leading trade fair in western Austria, underlines the city’s continuing regional role. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Dornbirn and Vorarlberg.
