Jungholz, Rural municipality and border town in Reutte district, Austria

Located at an elevation of 1054 meters, Jungholz extends into German territory with its only Austrian connection at the Sorgschrofen mountain peak.

In 1342, Hermann Häselin sold the area to Heinz Lochpyler, leading to its incorporation into Tyrol and later establishing Austrian governance through the 1844 treaty.

The municipality holds an annual herb market each August, displaying local produce while maintaining the only herb garden in the Tirol region.

Letters sent to Jungholz accept both German and Austrian postal codes, reflecting its geographical position between the two countries.

The municipality functions as a pene-exclave with four borders meeting at a single point on Sorgschrofen summit, creating a rare quadripoint arrangement.
