Kössen straddles the Großache in Tyrol’s Kaiserwinkl region, and its position in a broad valley between the Kaiser Mountains and the Chiemgau Alps has shaped it as a meeting point between alpine Tyrol and nearby Bavaria. Downstream, the river cuts through Entenlochklamm, a limestone gorge on the Austrian-German border. The parish church of St Peter and Paul anchors the village centre, while surrounding pastures and mountain routes place Kössen firmly in Tyrol’s outdoor tradition. Kaiserwinkl also includes Walchsee, Schwendt and Rettenschöss, giving the area a distinct identity beyond the larger Inn Valley.
