Tyrol is a federal state in western Austria. It is part of the present Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trento Euroregion (together with South Tyrol and Trento in Italy). The capital of Tirol is Innsbruck. Territorially, the region is located entirely in the Eastern Alps on the Brenner Pass. The highest mountain in Tirol is the Großglockner, part of the Hohe Tauern range on the border with Carinthia, rising 3797 meters high, making it the highest mountain in Austria.
Camping in Tyrol is a great choice for a holiday destination for the whole family. Since tourism in Tyrol plays a huge role, we can be sure that the tourist facilities here are at the highest level. Tyrol is crowded with tourists, especially in the winter season, when winter sports enthusiasts flock to numerous ski slopes. It's good to know that the beginnings of tourism in the region date back to the 18th century. In recent years, despite difficult socio-political and economic conditions, tourism has turned out to be a branch of the economy resistant to the crisis. In many Tyrolean valleys, tourism is the primary source of livelihood while providing jobs in trade and agriculture.
The climate in Tyrol is relatively mild. The region belongs to the temperate climate zone and lies on the border of Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean influences. It is characterized by relatively humid summers, dry autumn, snowy winters, but also strong local fluctuations.
The region is famous for the traditional form of wall painting – Lüftlmalerei, which is typical of Tyrolean villages and towns. The culinary specialty is Kletzenbrot – a sweet bread made of dried fruit and nuts baked during Advent.
