The town of Kufstein in Tyrol, on the border with Bavaria, has a very beautiful historic center and is famous for the imposing Kufstein Fortress. Kufstein is the second largest city in Tyrol after Innsbruck.
The historic center should definitely be visited in Kufstein. The Römerhofgasse alley is certainly one of the most photographed streets in Tyrol and offers an insight into the past.
Also in the old town is the town hall of Kufstein, which dates back to the 16th century. The stepped gable facade of the town hall dates from the first half of the 20th century.
However, the main attraction in Kufstein is the Kufstein Fortress, one of the most historically important fortresses in Austria. Link: Kufstein Fortress.
Kufstein is also known for its rich culture and musical tradition. Particularly worth mentioning is the Heldenorgel, the largest open-air organ in the world, which resounds twice a day from the fortress and fills the entire town with its sounds. In addition, the area around Kufstein offers numerous opportunities for hikes and excursions into nature, such as the nearby Kaisertal, which is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Tyrol.
