Riezlern is a village of Mittelberg, Vorarlberg, Austria. It also serves as Mittelberg's administrative centre.[1]
Besides the main settlement, Riezlern is divided into four other Ortsteile: Wald, Schwende, Unterwestegg and Egg.[2]
Riezlern is within the Kleinwalsertal, which, due to its mountaineous terrain, is considered a "practical exclave", as the area is only accessible through northeastern roads from Oberstdorf, in Bavaria, Germany.[3][4] Due to the close proximity to Germany, Riezlern, like the other villages in Kleinwalsertal, also has both an Austrian and German postal code.[5]
