Südtiroler Straße, Rattenberg - Rattenberg

Rattenberg got it's city rights in 1393. It is a small town that lies between the river Inn and the Castle on the Stadtberg.

It is a lively old town with a nice church, a few museums and it's most known for its many glass workers and shops, where beautiful pieces of art are made with all kinds of colored glass.

In early days the city of Rattenberg was prosperous thanks to the mining activities. The activities mainly consisted of silver mining. This town still has it’s medieval character. Do visit the Pfarrkirche with it’s rococo fresco’s.
Romantics should visit this town, situated on the bank of the Inn river. Lying at the foot of the 'Stadtberg' and exhibiting beautiful streets built in the Medieval times, you must love this town. It is also known for its Crystalworks and -shops.

It is a good starting point for visiting several sights in the direct area.

Like Achensee, Zillertal, Kufstein and the rest of the Unterinntal
