Tyrol

The terrain of Tyrol contains multiple mountain ranges including the Lechtaler Alps, Karwendel, and Kaiser ranges, with Wildspitze peak reaching 3,774 meters.

The Habsburg dynasty gained control of Tyrol in 1363 when Margaret Maultasch transferred her assets to Duke Rudolph IV of Austria, maintaining rule until 1918.

The region maintains traditional practices through folk dances, specific clothing called Tracht, and decorative mural art known as Luftlmalerei across building facades.

Nine administrative districts, including the capital Innsbruck, manage 277 municipalities while providing services to a population of 771,304 residents across the state.

The state consists of two geographically separate territories, North Tyrol and East Tyrol, divided by the state of Salzburg and the Italian province of South Tyrol.
