Hohenems: Schuttannen
Schuttannen combines open alpine pastureland with wooded slopes in a way that reflects its position above Hohenems on the edge of the Bregenzerwald Mountains. The area lies between the Rhine Valley and Vorarlberg’s higher ridges, where lanes and paths cross grassland used for alpine farming. It is a base for walking and cycling in the surrounding mountains rather than a built-up resort. Down in the valley, Hohenems is marked by its Renaissance-era Hohenems Palace, once the seat of the Counts of Hohenems, and by the heritage of its historic Jewish community. This rural upland setting forms a strong contrast with one of Vorarlberg’s culturally important towns.

The landscape around Stadt Hohenems is defined by the broad Rhine Valley and the lower slopes of the Bregenzerwald, which have shaped both the town’s layout and its economic life. The Austrian town stands near the Rhine’s border corridor with Switzerland, between the valley floor and the Schlossberg. Renaissance Palast Hohenems, built for the Counts of Hohenems in the 16th century, remains a central landmark. Its historic Jewish quarter recalls a community established in 1617; the Jewish Museum Hohenems examines that local history in a wider European context.

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.
