The main River is called Bregenzer Ach. The inhabitants itself often divide the Bregenzerwald into two main parts, named Vorderwald and Hinterwald. The Vorderwald is coming up from the Rheintal[?] with hills and lower Mountains, wheras the Hinterwald has the larger Mountains (up from 2000 metres). There is also a different dialect for the two parts.
The main village in Bregenzerwald is Bezau[?], where the court is settled.
People mostly work in tourism and agriculture, the latter is decreasing rapidly due to better traffic connections to the Rheintal[?]. In the last 30 years other economy has also grown.
Tourists often now the Bregenzerwald as a skiing resort. But there is a lot more, for example the "Bregenzerwälder Käsestrasse" or the "Schubertiade" festival only to mention two.
