Bezau, Administrative center in Bregenzerwald region, Austria
Bezau sits at 650 meters elevation in the western state of Vorarlberg, surrounded by mountain peaks and dense forests of the Bregenzerwald region.
The settlement, first documented as Baezenowe in 1249, gained parish autonomy in 1497 and later established a district court for the Bregenzerwald region in 1806.
The Heimatmuseum occupies a traditional wooden building, presenting exhibits that document regional farming practices and local lifestyle through different periods.
From June to October, the Friday market brings together local producers, offering fresh dairy products, meats, seasonal vegetables, and handcrafted goods.
The Bregenzerwaldbahn narrow-gauge railway, connecting Bezau to Bregenz until 1983, now operates as Wälderbähnle between Bezau and Bersbuch-Andelsbuch.
