"Schloss Tratzberg" is a castle set in the Tyrolean lowlands between Jenbach and Schwaz on a rocky crag in the Karwendel mountains. The late-Gothic Schloss Tratzberg can offer families lots of leisure opportunities. Audio-visual guides are available to adults and for children in fairy-tale format.

The Zeiss Planetarium in Schwaz is always worth a visit. The huge dome with an area of over 100 sq.m acts as a sort of screen for transporting visitors into the world of planets and galaxies. See shows and films about the universe, the history of space or the origins of earth.

On a conducted tour, visitors get the opportunity to learn about the amazing technical equipment used in this ultra-modern and highly efficient biomass heating plant. Visitors to the region are invited to call in and widen their knowledge about that ever-present, natural product, wood.

The Water & Spa World in Fügen

The Erlebnistherme Zillertal in Fügen is not just an architectural masterpiece. The facilities here are much appreciated not just by healthy-living and well-being enthusiasts, but also by families with young children and teenagers. But don't worry: those seeking the calmer delights of the spa will not be disturbed by all the noise and excitement from the adventure pool.

The Golden Roof Museum is a memorial to Emperor Maximilian I (1459−1519), one of Europe's most influential players in his era. He bequeathed to his favourite town, Innsbruck, many relics; the Golden Roof was one of them and it has since become an acknowledged symbol for the city. Visitors to the museum are accompanied by an audioguide through the very varied exhibition, which traces the extraordinary life of Emperor Maximilian I. One of the museum's highlights is the almost tangible proximity to the Golden Roof itself.
