Umgang Schwarzenberg

"As git Mändle, Wieble und Schwarzobergar” – “There are men, there are women, and there are people from Schwarzenberg”, accordingto many Vorarlberg locals. This sayin galludes to the industriousness, the thriftiness and the unconventionality of the village’s inhabitants. It is considered the most magnificent of the villages in the Bregenzerwald. Its prosperity isdisplayed in the large, old houses – and in the fact that it is the only place which owns its own alps in the Hinterwald. It also has considerable cultural assets in the form of the Schubertiade, modern architecture, local musicians, august guests and the Angelika Kauffmann memorials. Hamlets with magnificent views over the countryside of the Bregenzerwald surround the village.
