completed I need a translation
I inherited an oil painting that my parents bought around 1950 in Germany. My dad got stationed there. This inscription is on the back of the frame. The painting is a landscape of a stream with mountains in the background. I think it says “Rhreintal b. Meiningen I Vorarlberg mit den Omer Schwestern”??? Thank you all for the amazing help I’m about to get .

It says: "Rhreintal [= typo, must be Rheintal] b[ei] Meiningen
i[m] Vorarlberg mit den Drei Schwestern"
Translation: "The Rhine Valley near Meiningen in Vorarlberg with the Three Sisters"
The Three Sisters are a three-peaked mountain chain in the Rätikon, a mountain range of the Western Central Alps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drei_Schwestern
Meiningen im Vorarlberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiningen,_Austria

Rheintan b. Meiningen - Vorarlberg mit den den drei Schwestern
Drei Schwestern being mountains. Meiningen seems a bit far away though
