Tratzberg Castle
  One of the very few castles that has maintained its original furniture!
Tratzberg Castle
The majestic and enchanting Tratzberg Castle towers upon the slopes of the eastern foothills of Karwendel, between Jenbach and Schwaz. It is one of the few noble residences that has maintained so many original building fabrics and furniture.
The way Tartzberg Castle is presented turns every visit into an unforgettable experience. With an audio play you can hear the voices of Emperor Maximilian and the ancestors of today’s owner Goëss-Enzenberg. Mediaeval music will accompany the narrations making history come alive. Impressive points are the gothic Fuggerstube (Fuggers’ room), the queen’s room, as well as the Habsburgs’ hall with its unique mural painting showing the Habsburgers’ genealogy.
Something special: evening programs with guides dressed in historical costumes, “Schlosswirt“ restaurant with knight “board“ and many other supporting programs.
While adults are enjoying their guided tour, young visitors can discover the history of
 Tratzberg Castle with an audio play in form of an exciting fairytale. They will get to know knights, emperors and other previous owners of Tratzberg Castle.
A visit at Trotzberg Castle is enriched by many entertaining programs such as the open-air trolley “Tratzberg Express“, the castle kiosk, the children’s playground, the restaurant Schlosswirt Tratzberg with garden and, last but not least, the big variety of walking tours spreading around the castle.

Exhibition Silver Mine in Schwaz
 Experience a fascinating day out at the silver mine museum in
Schwaz. The exciting journey back in time to a world of medieval
mining begins with the first of many highlights: the journey into
the mine starts with an 800 m train ride down into the “Sigmund”
tunnel.
One of our professional guides will then welcome you with a traditional miner’s “Glück auf!“ (Good Luck!) greeting, before guiding you through a network of tunnels to search for traces of former courageous treasure hunters. The miners at Schwaz had the best mining know-how of the era, making the region the largest mining industry in central Europe and the second most important town in the Habsburg empire. The tour includes a multimedia show on the work and life of the miners. You can also learn more about:
• the legendary beginnings of the silver mining industry in Schwaz,
• the plenty of silver and copper reserves still present,
• the story behind water features in Schwaz,
• the network of tunnels stretching approximately 500 km,
• the origins of today’s dollar and the job description of a hurrier, hauler, sveltor, surveyor, and other mining tasks.
The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes. Every visitor will be given a safety helmet and overcoat. Warm clothing is recommended as the temperature underground stays at 12°C all year round. The train carries 38 people per journey as it descends into the mountain’s silver belly. The silver mine lies approximately 20 minutes walk from the town of Schwaz. By car
you can reach the mine in ca. 5 minutes via the national road towards Kufstein.
