In 2014, a pedestrian suspension bridge was constructed over the Fernpassstraße B 179 south of Reutte in Tyrol (Austria). At an altitude of 110 m and a span of 403 m, this is a great way to travel between the ruins of Ehrenberg and Fort Claudia.

Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens

Daniel Swarovski founded Swarovski in 1895 in Wattens, Tyrol and today the company is the world’s leading producer of precision-cut crystal.
