Kossen: Hochkössen - Moserberg
Tucked into the Kaiserwinkl valley, Kössen is a place whose character is shaped by the Großache and the mountain slopes around it. The municipality lies in north-eastern Tyrol, where broad valley-floor meadows and farms meet forested ground rising towards the Kaisergebirge and the Chiemgau Alps. The Großache runs through the settlement before continuing north across the Bavarian border as the Tiroler Achen. Kössen is a base for walking, cycling and mountain sports, while the parish church of St Peter and Paul marks its established village centre. Its setting brings together working agricultural land and a compact Tyrolean community at the meeting point of alpine valleys.

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.

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.
