In the 1970s, Karl Ganzer sang the praises of Kufstein in his hit yodelling melody 'Perle
Tirols' (The Pearl of Tyrol) and rightly so. Resting at the foot of the mighty limestone
Kaisergebirge and crowned by a fortress, Kufstein's backdrop is picture-book stuff. Con-
trol of the town was hotly contested by Tyrol and Bavaria through the ages until it finally
became Austrian property in 1814.
