Send Flowers to Dornbirn, Austria

Dornbirn is the largest town in Vorarlberg, the westernmost state of Austria, where people speak an Alemannic dialect closer to Swiss German than to Viennese. It lies in the Rhine valley between Lake Constance and the mountains of the Bregenz Forest, with the Swiss border a short drive away. Textile factories made it wealthy in the nineteenth century, and their old halls now house a university of applied sciences, design firms and a nature museum.

The Marktplatz, with the dark wooden Rotes Haus and the columned parish church, is the centre of town, and a cable car goes up the Karren for a view over the whole valley. Dornbirn is divided into districts with a village character, among them Markt, Hatlerdorf, Oberdorf, Haselstauden and Rohrbach. Single-family houses with gardens are common, which makes handover simple. Flower delivery in Dornbirn is next-day, Monday to Saturday, for orders received before midnight local time, and there is none on Sundays or public holidays. People here value craftsmanship and restraint, in flowers as in architecture.
