Cheese Route Bregenzerwald

What makes Bregenzerwald cheese so unique? Embark on an exciting journey through the cheese country of Vorarlberg on the Bregenzerwald Cheese Route. Learn how the cheese is made according to the original recipe, enjoy cheese specialties and try your hand at cheese making.

Did you know that the Bregenzerwald is the largest contiguous silage-free region in Europe? Here the cows are still fed the most natural fodder, namely grasses and herbs from the Alps. On the other hand, the secret of cheese production lies in the careful production process, which has been handed down over the centuries.

The Bregenzerwald Cheese Route is not a road in the true sense of the word, but an association of Bregenzerwald farmers, dairymen, innkeepers, craftsmen and commercial enterprises. This includes 90 alpine dairies and 17 valley dairies. There you can look over the dairymaids' and dairymen's shoulders to see how delicious cheese is made. In addition to the typical mountain cheese, there are a further 40 regional cheeses that are authentically handmade to the highest quality in the Bregenzerwald.

The members of the KäseStrasse Bregenzerwald also offer adventure programs and tours. For example, visit the 1st Bregenzerwald Dairy School and make your own cheese. The show farms include not only dairies, but also beekeepers, breweries and butchers. The highlight is the tasting of the different types of cheese. In the local inns and restaurants you can enjoy traditional Vorarlberg specialties and even entire cheese menus.

Hike along one of the countless hiking trails in the Bregenzerwald and discover the origins of Vorarlberg cheese production on the Alps, where cows graze all summer long. To top it all off, a cozy hut awaits you at the end of the hike, where you can fortify yourself with rustic hut delicacies.

Immerse yourself in the world of Vorarlberg cheese! The alpine dairies, inns, show dairies and stores look forward to your visit and to letting you in on the secrets of the art of cheese making. A visit to the Bregenzerwald Cheese Route thus combines a natural and cultural experience with culinary delights.
