The top destinations in Tyrol

Tyrol – a country on the Alpine ridge, imposing mountain ranges, dark forests and wild valleys.

And in the middle, like a blue ribbon, is the Inn. Like pearls strung on them: cities, castles and palaces that have been preserved for centuries and shape both the landscape and the people. Lively history, wherever you go, full of evidence of Tyrol’s eventful past.

But Tyrol also has a dynamic side: today the state is young, modern and innovative. A great adventure playground for those who want to experience something. It is always embedded in this unruly landscape and is waiting to be explored.

Culture country Carinthia

Carinthia is a beautiful region in southern Austria, which borders on Slovenia and Italy.
It lies between impressive mountain ranges. The Karawanken and the Carnic Alps in the south and the high Tauern and Nockberge in the north. It is also littered with many small and large alpine lakes, where you can admire beautiful panoramas that intoxicate the mind and where the view is almost endless. It is a dream region with a great cultural heritage, with over a thousand years of history and traditions.

It is located at the meeting point of three cultural heirs, the Germanic, the Slavic and the Roman. Everywhere you will find the remains of an important past, summarized in a present that is rich in traditions and customs. In northwestern Carinthia we meet the Hohe Tauern National Park, where the Grossglockner stands, the highest mountain in Carinthia. At its feet is the well-known mountain village of Heiligenblut, which is known for its old past and its church from 1253, which forms the backdrop for the Großglockner Glacier.
