The "Glass town" of Rattenberg is with its 400 inhabitants the smallest town in all of Austria, a medieval-pittoresque town, just 5 minutes by car.

Kufstein, with its famous fortress, is 33 km from Matzen and the province capital Innsbruck with its museums and the magnificent old town with the Golden Roof and the breathtaking mountain backdrop is 44 km away.

Tyrol´s biggest lake, the Achensee, is only 20 km from us and a ride with the nostalgic steam cog train from Jenbach is an excursion very worth doing.

Worth a visit, too, especially for nature lovers are the Reintaler Seen - the Reintaler Lakes close to Kramsach and about 10 minutes by car. You may take a long walk in the maginificent natural surroundings there or row a boat at Reintaler lake.

Also Krummsee and the green jewel up in the mountains, the Berglsteiner See, are not to be missed. In summertime all the lakes are wonderful for swimming.

A visit to the largest silvermine of the medieval centuries at Schwaz or Swarovski Kristallwelten (Swarovksi Crystal Worlds) are a good choice on any day, regardless the weather.
