Damuls: Furkajoch - Blick nach Westen
Among the places of Vorarlberg, Damüls stands out for its position beside the Furkajoch, a high pass through the Bregenzerwald mountains. The municipality occupies an alpine setting of open grazing land, wooded slopes and ridges, with the pass road linking it toward the Laternsertal. Damüls was settled by Walser people in the Middle Ages, a heritage retained in the local dialect and in the compact pattern of mountain farming. The Furkajoch route is a classic excursion road, valued for the changing structure of pasture, forest and high ground rather than for urban sights. Damüls also forms part of a ski area shared with Mellau, while its upland landscape supports walking and cycling routes outside the winter-sports network.

The settlement lies near the Faschina Pass, between the Bregenzerwald and the Grosses Walsertal, where alpine pastures meet steep slopes. Damüls is associated with the Walser, whose medieval migration helped establish communities across these Alpine valleys. The parish church of St Nicholas preserves late-medieval wall paintings, a direct link to the area’s long settlement history. In winter, Damüls forms part of the Damüls–Mellau ski area; in summer, marked routes lead towards the surrounding ridges.

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.
