Rankweil: VK_A14_034,829-F1-FL
Built around the Roman settlement of Vinomna, Rankweil grew into a market town in Vorarlberg’s Upper Rhine Valley. The Frutz runs through the municipality before joining the Ill, while wooded foothills rise from the broad valley floor toward the Alps. Above the centre, the Basilica of Our Lady on the Liebfrauenberg is Rankweil’s defining landmark and a long-established pilgrimage church. Rankweil lies in the corridor between Feldkirch and the Walgau, where the A14 Rheintal/Walgau motorway forms an important route through western Austria. Its historic centre, transport links and valley-edge slopes give the town a distinctly regional character.

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.
