Schwaz

About

For a taste of Austrian humor and a real ‘upside-down’ experience, then a visit to the Haus Steht Kopf (‘the house that stands on its head’) is in order for a fun and unforgettable stop in a place that your friends won’t believe exists until they have had a good laugh at your photos. For something more traditional but just as quirky in its own way, then the Schwazer Silberbergwerk (Silver Mine) is both exciting and educational and visitors are transported deep into the mountain on a small train after which the tour of the mine and an exhibition of the lives of the miners begins. When it’s time to take in the crisp and fresh alpine air again, then why not take a relaxing stroll up to Burg Freundsberg, the delightfully quaint castle that overlooks the city and offers fabulous views over the city and the surrounding terrain.
