Innsbruck

With only a population of 440, this medieval spot is the smallest town in Austria. It was first documented in 1254. Being one of the few cities with a well preserved medieval townscape, Rattenberg has a very special flair. In the 19th century several glassblowers settled down near the glazier’s workshop in Kramsach which had a 300 years glassblowing tradition. Today the town is the centre of the Tyrolean glass blowers.

Tyrolean Farmhouse Museum – Kramsach

71 km The busy capital of Tyrol is characterized by the impressive scenery of the mountain chain Karwendel. The picturesque Old Town (pedestrian precinct) holds, apart from many other sights, the medieval “Golden Roof”.

100 km The best way to get an impression of Austria‘s highest mountain, the Großglockner (3.798 m), is on the Großglockner High Alpine Road. The road leads you from Zell am See to the viewing point Edelweißspitz (2.571 m). For the ones who want to experience the Großglockner on the calmer southern side, it is to be recommended to take the ascent from Heiligenblut via Salm-Hütte (2.638 m) or via Stüdl-Hütte (2.802 m).

Mariastein

Centuries ago Schwaz was a rich town which acquired standing and greatness by mining silver and copper. Today you can visit the mine by way of the mine train and experience the harsh conditions of the past. The journey back in time is an unforgettable adventure for both, the young and the old. Also worth a visit is Tyrol’s biggest Gothic Hall Church in the Old Town of Schwaz and the Planetarium.

Salt of Mount Dürrnberg is what gave the city and the state its name. Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau guides you through the Worlds of Salt and tells you about the “White Gold”, which was already mined 2.500 years ago by the ancient Celts. The salt was the Prince Archbishop’s means to make Salzburg one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The 360° panoramic view from the top of the Hohe Salve (1.829 m) – reached by a 8-seater gondola lift from Hopfgarten - is a rewarding highlight along numerous well-marked walking trails in the Wilder Kaiser-Brixental mountain world. The jewel in the crown is surely the highest pilgrimage church in Austria, the Salvenkirchlein, also known as the “Johanneskapelle” chapel, which looks back over more than 400 years of history. The revolving panoramic terrace and the newly designed Sonnenweg, or sun trail, with wind harp and sundials round off a perfect day’s hiking on the “Rigi of Tyrol”, as the mountain is also affectionately known.

Pillersee

Place of Pilgrimage – Mariastein Set at 575 metres above sea level, 15 km north-west of the Hohe Salve, is one of the best known pilgrimage sites in the country: Mariastein, nestled in lush forests at the foot of the Inn Mountains. The pilgrimage church (built around 1360) is impressively situated on a 14 metre high cliff and has been a popular place of pilgrimage since the late Middle Ages. You can climb the 150 steps up the 42 metre high tower. In addition to the exhibits in the Schlossmuseum (castle museum), the coffered ceiling in the Fürstensaal hall, the sacred gold and silver objects, the pilgrimage boards, musical instruments and the Asylum Sword, the beautiful Mariastein pilgrimage church has two other very special gems: the “Tyrolean insignia” with the archducal crown and sceptre, donated by Archduke Maximilian, also known as Maximilian der Deutschmeister (around 1600).
