Tyrolean travel & culture guide

Plan a detour to a fragrant green paradise - to the 6000 m² big flower world near Ebbs. More than 1 million plants are grown in the green house every year: Pansies, primroses, geraniums, surfinia varieties, various shrubberies, poinsettias, all herbs and vegetable, plants and a lot more - ideal for your home! 

Do you know the "pearl of Tyrol" - towered by the Medieval fortress with the "organ for the heroes", the world's biggest open air organ? And afterwards you will stroll along the Inn promenade. Absolutely worth seeing: the "Sinnfonie - adventure of the perceptions" in the show glass hut at "Riedel Glas". Buy hand-blown treasures in the shop at a favourable price!

In the open air museum you will find buildings of old Tyrolean folk architecture. A tour will take you back to the life and work of days long past that dominated life in Tyrol for a long time. Fourteen farms from the different valleys of Tyrol have been rebuilt here, including their gardens and ponds with small animals, farm outbuildings, alps and chapels. 

Walk through the picturesque small town at the Inn river with its ancients streets and the medieval cityscape, visit the fortress ruin at the castle mountain. The glass specialist shops there are especially worth visiting - a unique opportunity to look over the shoulders of glass blowers, cutters and painters at their creative work. 

Many guests ask for regional organic products. We recommend the BIO organic cheese dairy Hatzenstädt in Niederndorferberg where cheese has been produced for over 70 years GMO-free and without additives and the cattle of the mountain farmers only get organic food (also open on Sunday mornings, per car via Kufstein, Ebbs, then towards Walchsee and in the village part of Sebi towards the left up to Aschau in 20 min). Or you stop already earlier on the route in Niederndorf and visit the rock cellar of the BIO cheese dairy Plangger that is known far and wide for its organic hay milk cheese specialties. And those who would like to can make a detour to the nearby wildlife park! 

The Swarovski Crystal Worlds were opened in 1995 on the occasion of its 100-year company anniversary. The multimedia artist André Heller designed a unique place of the imagination that has been giving moments of astonishment to over 15 million visitors from all over the world. You will be surprised, touched and maybe even transformed by crystal in all its facets!

More than 2000 animals can be watched in the Alpenzoo, Europe's highest zoo. Afterwards you can go up to the Hafelekar with the new Nordkettenbahn - what a view! Museum lovers will want to visit the Tyrolean museum Ferdinandeum, the Maximilianeum or Ambras Castle with its museum of history of art. And have you already been to the new Bergisel Olympia ski jump with an imposing view? You will be impressed.
