Niederau: Ski und Wandergebiet Markbachjoch - Bergstation Markbachjochbahn

Built around farms on the lower slopes of the Wildschönau valley, Niederau grew into a Tyrolean holiday village. It stands below the Markbachjoch, while the Wildschönauer Ache drains the valley on its way towards the Inn. Niederau is one of four settlements in Wildschönau, a side valley of the Kitzbühel Alps, where marked walking routes, mountain lifts and winter pistes shape the rhythm of the seasons. The parish church is a focal point in the village, and local inns serve Krautinger, Wildschönau’s traditional turnip schnapps.

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.
