Holiday-makers wanting to spend their free time mindfully while reducing their burden on the environment will find what they’re looking for in the Bodensee-Vorarlberg region. Enjoy the start of the day with a clear conscience and a really tasty breakfast at the Frida Bioladen.Café. Walk along the farmers’ colourful presentations of harvests they have gathered at the weekly market while keeping your eyes open for the handmade souvenirs to take back home to your loved ones. There are beautiful and home-made products to buy in charming boutiques across the region, such as Blubonbon – where natural cosmetics are made – and Garten Eder – where special soaps are produced. Nature in the purest of all its forms on the legendary Farnach Moos high moor will delight admirers of all ages. Hiring a bike and getting into the saddle are better than sitting behind a steering wheel because it’s wonderfully possible to explore the entire region on two wheels.

Our tip: the Bodensee-Vorarlberg Freizeitkarte will already pay off after two trips because it allows you to use public transport for free and so save money.
