Ehrwald, Alpine municipality in Reutte district, Austria
The town of Ehrwald extends across 49 square kilometers at the base of Zugspitze mountain, featuring neighborhoods like Obermoos and Unterdorf.
Ehrwald first appeared in official documents in 1274, developing from a mining settlement into a tourist destination during the twentieth century.
Each June 20th, residents of Ehrwald create 8000 fires on surrounding mountain summits, forming patterns recognized by UNESCO as cultural heritage.
The Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn cable car connects Ehrwald directly to the summit of Zugspitze, providing access to winter sports and mountain activities.
Ehrwald contains protected natural landscapes in the Ehrwalder Becken, where former moorlands now serve as conservation areas for endangered species.
