What to do and see in Vorarlberg, Austrian Alps: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

January 20, 2022 Carley Gatson

Bristling with beautiful lakes, splashing rivers, rugged peaks and looming castles, Vorarlberg is tucked between Switzerland and Germany. This spirited state is dotted with Bauhaus-inspired architecture, eco-friendly dwellings and tiny towns, bristling with spires. Capital Bregenz is the main draw in this alpine locale. Cobblestone streets and a lovely lakeside setting add to its charms. Renowned for its cheese and dairies, Vorarlberg is also a popular spot for skiing and other winter sports.

Lunersee

Reviewed By Dieselweasel - Sittingbourne, United Kingdom

After a lovely drive through the villages of Brand and Innertal and an exhilarating ride on the Lunerseebahn you arrive on the shores of the Lunersee itself. The stunning scenery can be viewed at leisure sat outside the Douglas Hutte or enjoyed whilst travelling the very popular circular route around the lake. At almost 2000 meters high a gentle stroll is what most people prefer but for those of you after a little adventure there is the Schesaplana, the highest peak in the area at 2965 meters, with the popular Totalphutte halfway up. The views are to die for, which ever route you take and you just can't get enough of the fresh mountain air. You can quite easily spend a day here just wandering about.

inatura – Erlebnis Naturschau

The Museum you can touch Nature, humans and technology. inatura museum in Dornbirn offers something for everyone, and does this in a particularly unusual way, because here touching is expressly encouraged. The main focus is on trying, playing, experiencing and understanding. The journey takes you through the different habitats that are characteristic of Vorarlberg: mountain, forest and water. In the final section of the museum, we go beyond the realms of possibility and in the truest sense of the word, go inside ourselves. inatura makes it possible to actually visit our bodies. Interactive and multimedia presentations demonstrate the exciting links between the life and interactive zones and provide an insight into the wonder of nature, people and their technical achievements. A fascinating experience. It is not surprising, therefore, that inatura is considered to be one of Europe's most modern natural history museums. In addition to our permanent exhibits, in the gallery in the entrance area we offer our visitors regularly-changing, interesting special exhibits on varying topics. Come on in and take a look. A visit to inatura always has something new to offer.

Pfander

Reviewed By LiveFreeLiveaJourney - Carei, Romania

Amazing lookout! If you are passing by Bregenz, definitely recommend to stop for an hour or two , get up there and enjoy the fresh air. Up there you can see 3 countries in the same time, unique destination, of course if you have some more time , get your hiking shoes out and you can hike up. Because we did not had that much time we decided to take the ride up. Paid 33 euros for 3 adults, round trip. Not sure why everything was closed up there today, 26 Dec, maybe because it is Christmas, so you couldn’t have anything to drink or eat up there. Otherwise everything was fine. Enjoy
