Kufstein, Medieval fortress town in Tyrol, Austria
Located between the Kaiser Mountains and Bavarian Alps, Kufstein extends along the Inn River at an elevation of 504 meters.
Emperor Maximilian I captured the town in 1504, establishing Austrian control after centuries of Bavarian rule under the bishops of Regensburg.
The Heldenorgel organ at Geroldseck Fortress performs daily recitals to commemorate fallen soldiers, echoing throughout the valley since 1931.
The town functions as a transportation hub with the Lower Inn Valley Railway line connecting Austria to Germany through its strategic border location.
The Tischofer Cave near Kufstein contains archaeological evidence of human habitation dating back more than 30,000 years.
