Introducing Kufstein
In the 1970s, Karl Ganzer waxed lyrical about Kufstein in the hit song Perle Tirols. His yodelling melody may be cheesier than Camembert but the lyrics ring true: this town squatting beneath the towering limestone pinnacles of the Kaisergebirge and hugging the banks of the Inn River is indeed a gem. Little wonder control of the town was hotly contested by Tyrol and Bavaria through the ages until it finally became Austrian property in 1814.
