Experience Tyrolean history
Are you a highly qualified professional, scientist, or researcher who recently moved to Tyrol for a long-term position at a Tyrolean company or higher education institution? We are delighted to have you here!
To help you feel at home in Tyrol as quickly as possible, the Welcome Service Tirol loves showing you the region's most beautiful places. That is why we invite you to an exclusive guided tour of the historic Kufstein Fortress on November 20, 2026. This majestic fortress, which was first mentioned in an official document in 1205, has a turbulent history and offers fascinating insights into the past.
The tour will be followed by a pleasant get-together at the Auracher Löchl restaurant in Kufstein. Our guide will accompany us to the restaurant and provide us with interesting information about Kufstein along the way. During and after dinner, you will have the opportunity to make new contacts and exchange experiences.
We look forward to seeing you! Partners are also very welcome.
The event will be held in English.
