Schwaz

Stadt Schwaz straddles the lower slopes of the Kellerjoch and the Inn Valley in Tyrol, a position that connected the town to Alpine mining country and trade routes along the Inn River. Silver and copper transformed Schwaz into one of Europe’s leading mining centres in the late Middle Ages, leaving a legacy explored today at the Schwaz Silver Mine. The Gothic parish church, with its unusual four-aisled interior, reflects the prosperity of that era. Above the town, the Tux Alps rise towards the Kellerjoch, while the broad Inn Valley leads east and west through Tyrol.
