Schattwald: ENI-GUTMANN Tankstelle

Tucked into the western end of Tyrol’s Tannheimer Tal, Gemeinde Schattwald is a place whose character is shaped by its position below the Allgäu Alps, close to the German border. The Vils flows through the valley, whose open meadows are set against wooded slopes and higher limestone terrain. Schattwald belongs to a region where alpine cattle grazing and haymaking still define the seasonal use of the valley floor. The Wannenjochbahn provides access to local ski terrain in winter and walking routes after the snow has gone, while the nearby Oberjoch pass leads towards Bavaria.

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
