I ended up hiking in Austria on my 35th birthday. It was challenging, but worth the experience. Beautiful place.

Kufstein is a beautiful Austrian Tyrolean town on the river Inn (of Innsbruk fame) that just happens to be dominated by a massive castle. This is built on a sheer rock outcrop and over the years has expanded to cover the entire upper surface of the rock. The castle bounced between the control of Bavaria and the Habsburgs for 500 years with Maximillian I creating the famous round tower that is a symbol of the castle. After its military purpose ended it became a political prison for those deemed too liberal by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Which was just about anyone who lifted their forehead off the ground. It is now a tourist attraction and museum. We parked in the town centre and then promptly lost sight of the aforementioned castle that dominates the town and got lost. I crossed the river to get my bearings, such as they are and then we headed in a vaguely correct direction until we found the castle entrance. We paid our €25 entrance and took the funicular to the upper courtyard and keep complex. The castle is well signposted for each of the museums and they generally have a decent amount of English explanations, although some were lacking. Before the funicular there was a man powered treadmill to get goods from the ground to the upper levels of the castle! This is still in place along with a wooden gallery overlooking the courtyard. The next courtyard has the castle cafe where we paused for a coffee before continuing our tour. The castle includes museums of local history, costumes and culture, arms and armour (including replicas you can try on), a history of Maximillian I and the castle and the political prison. There are also gun batteries, a herb garden, the worlds largest open air organ (that we didn't visit) and a rock cut tunnel that extended for a couple of hundred metres linking two parts of the castle. Although I'm sure you're thinking this was just another castle it was that but also a superb set of museums and a tour through 500 years of Tyrolean history. The views were pretty good too. We left the castle after about three hours and wandered around the town before making our way home.

If you haven't got a drink in your hand, you've got nothing to drink. Stollen 1930 - the bar in Kufstein which you simply must see The new bar in the hotel is as inimitable as the Auracher Löchl itself: the Stollen 1930. When you enter our bar in Kufstein you will feel as if you have been transported back to the time, when everyone in Paris, New York and London was still playing the chansons of the 30's. Cocktails, which have been popular for almost a century, are served to suit the mood of the music, but you can also order rum, gin, alcohol-free drinks from Fentimans and rarities. For those who prefer to drink their local brew, naturally we offer excellent beer from Belgium, Ireland and England. Meanwhile we offer more than 700 different brands of gin and got the certificate of "Guiness World Records" for the greatest gin gallery worlwide! Our accomplished bar staff take great pride in offering first-class service in a stylish ambience, enchant our guests and always extend you a courteous welcome.

This is a must visit when in Kufstein. We had checked into the hotel and were given two feathers to exchange for a complimentary gin and tonic at Stollen. What a fascinating and surprising place - just wonderful. Once our eyes had accustomed to the darker surroundings, it was simply fantastic. The complimentary gin and tonic was so good, we had to have another! There are over 1000 gins on offer here and the cave like surroundings with lots of candles, lamps and very comfy chairs are unique. Can highly recommend!

The Kaiserlift is a don't-miss in summer in Kufstein! 20 minutes in an individual chairlift up the mountainside - so amazingly quiet - the wonder of nature all around! Going up is exciting, and coming down, the view is even more spectacular! Also a good value for the experience!
