Zams: Hoher Riffler

The Inn River defines the setting of Gemeinde Zams — its broad valley floor is enclosed by steep Alpine slopes, while rail and road routes follow this corridor through western Tyrol. Beside neighbouring Landeck, near the meeting of the Sanna and Inn rivers, Zams has long stood on routes linking the upper Inn Valley with Alpine passes. The Venet mountain rises above the municipality, and the Zammer Lochputz gorge follows the rushing Schloßbach through narrow rock walls. Zams is also associated with the historic Via Claudia Augusta, the Roman route across the Alps. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Zams and Tyrol.

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.
