Kleinwalsertal is a valley at the border between Austria and Germany. It is a commune of the state Vorarlberg which is the most western state of Austria. It consists of three villages which are situated along the River Breitach: Mittelberg, Hirschegg, and Riezlern. The valley is famous in Central Europe as a ski and hiking resort. The 5,000 inhabitants which are called "Walser" provide 12,000 beds for tourists. Due to the terrain there is no direct access by car to the other parts of Austria. Therefore the Kleinwalsertal can only be accessed via Oberstdorf, a nearby village in Germany.

  • Kleinwalsertal is a valley at the border between Austria and Germany. It is a commune of the state Vorarlberg which is the most western state of Austria. It consists of three villages which are situated along the River Breitach: Mittelberg, Hirschegg, and Riezlern. The valley is famous in Central Europe as a ski and hiking resort.

Therefore the Kleinwalsertal can only be accessed via Oberstdorf, a nearby village in Germany. Since 1891 Kleinwalsertal enjoyed a customs union with Germany, a free border, and used the Deutsche Mark. Since Austria joined the European Union in 1995, the signing of the Schengen Agreement (1997) and the introduction of the Euro (2002), this special status no longer applies. However, in some respects Kleinwalsertal is still closer to Germany than Austria, for example its fuel prices.
