Gotzis: Millrütte
The landscape around Millrütte above Götzis is a mosaic of pasture and woodland on the slopes of the Vorarlberg Alps, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This upland setting belongs to Vorarlberg’s transition from the broad Alpine Rhine Valley to steep, forested mountain ground. Open grazing land and scattered farm buildings reflect the long Alpine practice of using higher meadows for seasonal pasture, while the surrounding trees keep the settlement pattern sparse. Below, Götzis forms part of the Rhine Valley urban belt close to the Swiss and Liechtenstein borders. The town is also known for the annual Hypo-Meeting Götzis, an international combined-events athletics competition held at Mösle Stadium. Millrütte provides a quieter counterpoint: a working mountain landscape rather than a dense resort centre.

Götzis, tucked between the floor of the Alpine Rhine Valley and the lower Alpine slopes, is a town whose character is shaped by its position on Austria’s western edge. The Rhine Valley places it close to both Switzerland and Liechtenstein, within Vorarlberg’s densely connected network of towns beneath the mountains. Götzis is internationally recognised in athletics for the Hypo-Meeting at Mösle Stadium, a leading annual combined-events competition that brings elite decathletes and heptathletes to the town. Its setting combines residential neighbourhoods, working local life and easy access to the wider Rhine Valley.

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.
