Even though Vorarlberg isn't a big federal state, it offers a variety of geographical locations.
Here visitors can find several mountain ranges, including the Verwall, the Arlberg, the Silvretta and the Rätikon, as well as rivers such as the III (a tributary of the Rhine), the Rhine itself, the Bregenzer Ach and the Dornbirner Ach. The federal-state is also known for its lakes including Lake Constance, Lüner Lake, Silvretta Reservoir and Vermunt Lake, just to name a few. Lüner Lake is considered to be the largest mountain lake in the Alps even before the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1958. The Piz Buin is the highest mountain in the region with a height of 3,312 m and can be found in the Silvretta range, surrounded by glaciers.
