Wood Architecture in Vorarlberg

The Taste of Alpine Pastures
For centuries, the tradition of three-level pasture management in the Alps has been practised in Vorarlberg. This results in some unusual and rare types of cheese. The “Käsestrasse Bregenzerwald” (“Bregenzerwald Cheese Road”) is an invitation to experience this cultural heritage, the people, their hospitality and, of course, the cheese, in all its rich variety.
