Tucked into the Bregenzerwald valley in Vorarlberg, Gemeinde Au is a place whose character is shaped by the Bregenzer Ach and the enclosing Alpine slopes. The municipality sits in one of western Austria’s traditional forest-and-pasture regions, where scattered farmsteads and timber houses remain part of the settled landscape. Au is also associated with the Auer Zunft, a guild of Baroque master builders whose members worked across Central Europe from the 17th century onward. In warmer months, the surrounding mountains provide routes for walking and cycling; winter brings skiing to the wider Bregenzerwald area.
