Wolfurt: VK_A14_013,640-V0-FL

Tucked between the Bregenzer Ach and the foothills of the Bregenzerwald, Marktgemeinde Wolfurt is a place whose character is shaped by its position in the broad Rhine Valley. The municipality lies close to Lake Constance and Bregenz, while residential neighbourhoods rise gently from the valley floor toward wooded slopes. Wolfurt is also a working transport centre: its rail freight terminal is an important intermodal hub for western Austria, linking the region with European rail and road routes. Above the settlement, the ruins of Burg Wolfurt recall the area’s medieval past. Daily life here combines commerce and commuting with easy access to riverside and hillside surroundings. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Vorarlberg connects across the Rhine Valley and toward Lake Constance.

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.
