Ausflugsziele in Vorarlberg

The Angelika Kauffmann Museum in Schwarzenberg is a typical Bregenzerwald house from the 16th century with modern showrooms.

The mountain lake can be comfortably reached on foot from the Fontanella Säge bus stop in about 30 minutes. The slightly ascending and descending, low-traffic, asphalted road (access by car only permitted for residents) leads past the houses of Garlitt and on to the Seewaldseetobel.

A women's museum? And one in a rural location? The Fraunemuseum Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald (Austria) shows that both are possible – and have been for over twenty years now. It was the initiative of Elisabeth Stöckler that brought about the founding of the museum in 2000.

Thanks to its privileged location next to the cycle path, the Bezau swimming pool is ideal for arriving by bike. The biggest attraction for kids and youths is the bright blue double water slide.

The Au outdoor pool is furnished with solar heating and the water temperature is kept a more or less constant 24 C. Those who’d like to swim laps can take advantage of the lanes in the 25-m pool. In the kids’ pool close by, bubble jets ensure fun for little ones.

In cooperation with the Nature Park School Lingenau and the association 60+, the municipality of Lingenau and the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park developed a concept for a "museum under the open sky".

This resulted in the Natur.Museum in Dörnelstraße (directly behind the church), Lingenau.

“This mountain pasture (‘alp’) has been preserved just as it was when it was once inhabited and cultivated. One could move back in there tomorrow and begin making cheese again.”

The museum, which is housed in a typical Bregenzerwald farmhouse from the 18th century, provides insights into the living style and circumstances in a region that continues to be characterised by timber architecture.

Where would you find a better place for a ski museum than in the snowiest village in the world? Enough said! The exhibition in the rectory encompasses 130 years of Vorarlberg skiing history as well as the history of ski racing in Vorarlberg.
