The region and its accessibility
Around 17% of Vorarlberg’s surface area is home to the municipalities of the Rhine valley where 67% of the population lives. In some of these places, the population density is comparable to that of metropolitan areas.
The Bodensee-Vorarlberg region extends a little further – it includes 32 municipalities.
The region’s infrastructure is also comparable to that of major cities – which means that it is easily accessed from all transport routes and from all points of the compass. The public transport network within the region is highly developed. It employs trains (between Bregenz and Feldkirch) and buses and even has ships being operated on Lake Constance by Vorarlberg Lines.
