!!!Klostertal

Klostertal, Vorarlberg, valley on the eastern side of the River  Ill 
valley. The Klostertal stretches from the  Arlberg pass to the west to 
Bludenz (alt. 588 m) and is drained by the Aflenzbach stream. To 
the north it is bordered by the Lechtal Alps and the Verwall 
mountains. The valley is named after a hospice on the Arlberg 
("Kloesterle" = small monastery). The  Arlberg road tunnel, which was 
opened in 1978 and is 13,972 m long, links the Klostertal with 
the winter resort St. Anton am Arlberg (alt. 1,284 m) in the 
Stanzer valley. Before 1978 there was only one road leading across the 
Arlberg pass (alt. 1,793 m).
