Vorarlberg: Description

Vorarlberg is the westernmost province of the Republic of Austria and borders in the east on the province of Tyrol. The neighbouring countries also include the German Free State of Bavaria in the north, the Swiss canton of St. Gallen in the west and the canton of Graubünden in the south. Vorarlberg also shares a border with the Principality of Liechtenstein. In the north of Vorarlberg lies Lake Constance, which is, however, largely part of the Swiss Confederation and the Federal Republic of Germany.
