The Alpine Museum “uf´m Tannberg“ in the town of Schröcken shows you everything you have ever wanted to know about cheese-making in the alps and more!
The Folklore Museum Bezau is located in an old farmhouse characteristic of the region. A “through the keyhole” view of life in the region then and now.
The Vorarlberg Cheese Trail
The Cheese Trail is not a trail in the normal sense, rather an association of people and businesses that all have something to do with the history of cheese making in the Bregenzerwald region – from alpine dairy to guesthouses. The many and varied institutions and members that make up the Cheese Trail organise events throughout the year where you are invited to taste the local produce and find out the secrets of cheese-making.
Over 40 Bregenzerwald restaurants and guesthouses belong to the certified group of cheese restaurants. They serve delicious cheese dishes throughout the year. Many of the Cheese Restaurants are located in typical Bregenzerwald buildings with their sun-burned façades of weathered wooden shingles and cosy rooms with low ceilings.

Bezau's Historic Steam Engine “Wälderbähnle”
The Wälderbähnle historic steam engine, which is loved by locals and visitors alike, is a narrow gauge railway that is partly driven by steam. The small railway, which was restored and is now run by a private association, runs over a picturesque 6,1 kilometre-long stretch at the weekends and on public holidays.
The ride takes you along the rushing waters of the Bregenzer Ach river, over bridges, past picturesque hamlets, through woods and flowering meadows. A short journey which leaves a lasting and fond impression. You can also hire the Wälderbähnle for family celebrations and special events.
The Hotel Post is happy to make the first contact for you and will assist you in the organisation and catering recommendations for your special event or occasion. You can find a timetable under www.waelderbaehnle.at
