Lochau

Lochau is a municipality on Lake Constance in Vorarlberg that combines lakeside location with forested terrain. The settlement sits at approximately 416 meters elevation and spreads between water and wooded hillsides.

The municipality was part of Bavaria from 1805 until 1814, after which it returned to Austrian rule. It became part of the Vorarlberg region in 1861.

Daily life here revolves around the lake and the surrounding mountains, which shape how residents experience their surroundings. The community gathers around these natural features for recreation and local activities.

The Lochau-Hörbranz railway station offers S1 regional trains and express connections serving the wider area. Travelers can easily access destinations throughout Vorarlberg and beyond from this station.

The municipality sits at roughly 400 meters elevation, creating a transitional landscape between lakeside and mountain terrain. This elevation difference between the shore and forested slopes creates distinct climate zones and experiences within a short distance.
