Nuziders: A014_054,420_2_00001757

Developing around a long-established settlement on the slopes above the Walgau valley, Gemeinde Nuziders grew into a residential municipality beside Bludenz in Austria’s Vorarlberg. The Ill River runs through the broad valley below, while the Rätikon range rises on its southern side and Alpine routes lead towards the surrounding mountain districts. Nuziders has retained a distinctly local character, shaped by Alemannic language traditions, farming on the valley slopes and close ties with the regional centre of Bludenz. Its position makes it part of the transition between the Rhine Valley and the higher valleys of western Austria. Continue with other webcams from Vorarlberg to see how this Alpine region connects regionally.

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.
