This Tyrolean village on the German border that serves as the western gateway to the Hinterau valley, where the river Isar has its source. Scharnitz sits close to the mountains just north of Innsbruck, on a route that has connected Germany and Italy since the early Middle Ages. Summer and winter tourism both sustain the village today, with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding alpine terrain.
