Hittisau: Bregenzerwald, Austria, Hotel Krone: Pfarrkirche von - Winterstaude
Gemeinde Hittisau lies in the Bolgenach valley in the Bregenzerwald, where farmsteads and a compact village centre sit among the rounded foothills of the Allgäu Alps. This rural municipality in northeastern Vorarlberg is shaped by the region’s long tradition of dairy farming and timber construction rather than dense urban development. The parish church forms a focal point at the centre of the settlement. Hittisau is also home to the Frauenmuseum Hittisau, Austria’s only women’s museum, with changing exhibitions on women’s lives, work and cultural history. The surrounding Bregenzerwald is known for alpine pastures, walking routes and a distinctive tradition of wooden architecture.

Built around Alpine valley routes and the Rhine corridor, Vorarlberg grew into Austria’s westernmost federal state, where the Alps meet the shores of Lake Constance. The Rhine forms much of its border with Switzerland, while the Bregenzerwald, Arlberg and Montafon give the region a strongly mountainous character. Bregenz, on Lake Constance, is known internationally for the Bregenz Festival and its lakeside floating stage. Compact towns, timber architecture and a long textile-manufacturing tradition reflect a region linked closely to neighbouring Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
