History & geography

Geography

Zirl is known for its natural surroundings, which include the Martinswand rock face, the Ehnbach gorge, and parts of the Nordkette mountain range. The Martinswand is a popular destination for climbers. The area is also part of a nature reserve and was once a favourite hunting ground of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, who famously took refuge in a cave now known as Emperor Max Grotto. The town is a starting point for hikes along the Karwendel High Route, as well as trails leading to the Neue Magdeburger Mountain Hut and the Solstein Refuge. Cyclists also frequent the Inn Cycle Route – Tiroler Oberland, which connects the Swiss Alpine valley of Engadin with Innsbruck.
