What Makes Kufstein Special?

History
First mentioned in the 13th century, Kufstein has long been a strategic stronghold. The Kufstein Fortress, built over 800 years ago, played a key role in Austria’s defense. Today, it stands as the town’s most famous landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into medieval life, stunning views, and the deep sounds of the Heldenorgel, the world’s largest free-standing organ.
Taste Tyrolean Tradition
Good food is part of the experience. Try Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy shredded pancake, or Tiroler Gröstl, a hearty mix of potatoes, bacon, and egg. Local cheeses and freshly baked bread are a must. Enjoy a meal in the old town, where cozy restaurants serve simple, honest dishes.
Kufstein and Bujinkan
Bujinkan in Austria started here. 30 years later, the community has grown, with students across the country carrying on the tradition. Now, Kufstein welcomes martial artists back for a special event.
