Hohenems: Hohenems-Dornbirn Airport
Built around the medieval fortress of Alt-Ems, Hohenems grew into a small town in Austria’s Rhine Valley. Hohenems-Dornbirn Airport occupies level ground on the valley floor below steep, wooded Alpine slopes and serves general aviation in Vorarlberg. Its location links the Rhine Valley’s urban ribbon with the mountain country to the east. Above the centre, the Renaissance Schloss Hohenems and the ruins of Alt-Ems recall the town’s aristocratic past. Hohenems is also known for its Jewish Museum, which explores the history of the local Jewish community, established in the 17th century and destroyed under Nazi rule in 1942. These layers give the town a distinctive regional identity.

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.
