Riefensberg is a municipality in the district of Bregenz in the westernmost Austrian state of Vorarlberg.
The town of Riefensberg ("rivinsperc") was mentioned for the first time in 1249, in a document by Pope Innocent IV.
In the Juppenwerkstatt Riefensberg, traditional Bregenz Forest costumes are still dyed and sewn.
The typical "Bregenzerwälder Juppe" is not sold "ready-made" in shops, but can only be custom-made in the Juppenwerkstatt.
Nowadays, many Bregenzerwälder women wear the Juppe at weddings and in church on Sundays.
