Eppzirler Alm, Mountain pasture in Zirl, Austria

The Eppzirler Alm sits at 1,459 meters elevation in the Karwendelgebirge mountain range, accommodating 90 cattle across its alpine meadows.

During the 16th century, the site gained recognition for Tyrolean stone oil extraction, drawing visits from Emperor Maximilian to explore the surrounding trails.

The mountain pasture maintains traditional Alpine farming practices and features a chapel dedicated to Maria, which receives numerous hiking pilgrims.

The mountain hut operates from June through October, serving Tyrolean dishes made from local ingredients between 7:00 and 22:00 daily.

Local accounts mention the presence of 30 tonnes of Reichsgold, supposedly hidden in the area following World War II.
