It is also a very rural area, abundant with wildlife and many glacial lakes and thick fir tree forests. It has much in common, both culturally and geographically with its neighbours Tyrol and Salzburg Province in Austria than the rest of Germany to the north.

Considering the rural and mountainous nature of the region the area’s rail network is well established and finds its hub in Munich. Many connections can also be found to neighbouring Innsbruck and Salzburg in Austria. The road system is excellent as well and offers wonderful opportunities for road biking.
