The Bregenzerwald, that’s resin-fluffy fir forests, meadow landscapes and beech forests. A mighty region of approximately 700 square kilometers, which reaches from the Lake of Constance up to the Arlberg mountain and is dominated by the river Bregenzer Ache.
The broad and low leveled valley of the alpine Rhine limits the Bregenzerwald toward the west, the large Walsertal valley up to the Schadona pass separates it from the Klostertaler mountains, also well known as Lechquellengebirge mountains. In the east the Allgaeuer Alps, the Widderstein mountain and the magic Hohe Ifen mountain stand as border guards, while the extended mountain back of the Pfaender mountain forms the border toward the North.

Also these days the Bregenzerwald museum train runs by steam between the train stations of Andelsbuch and Bezau.
The mountains in the Bregenzerwald are, contrary to the more solid, cliffy neighbours in the south and the east, normally more round and more flat. Only the Kansifluh mountain (2.044m/6,704ft.) pokes out with its steep walls majestically. In the Bregenzerwald the Alps ground smells spicy and the alpine roses invite for a break in the meadows.
Apart from the different possibilities to cross the Bregenzerwald by air, feet, motorbike, mountainbike or car the Bregenzerwald surprises with its own outstanding culture. The key to this culture between tradition and future is based on the former poverty of this valley. Its inhabitants had to earn their income as forest workers, as so-called “Fremdler”, abroad, in Swabia, Switzerland, France and even Russia. What they learned over there, they returned it into their homeland and adapted it to the needs in the Bregenzerwald.

Such “Fremdler” was Johann Josef Felder, who always reported to his cousin Franz Michael Felder in Schoppernau when he came back home. Franz Michael, one of the most important German-speaking homeland poets, created the first agricultural cooperatives, and which were the first founders of the today's “cheese road” with some fellows out of the Bregenzerwald.
