Photo and description

The Arzl im Pitztal commune in the Imsta district of Tyrol is located 880 meters above sea level. It is a small village with a population of slightly less than 3 thousand people. The name "Arzl" probably comes from the word "Arcella", which means "small castle."

The village of Arzl is located between the northern slope of Mount Venet 2513 meters high and the Leiner Kogele peak (2387 m) on a mountain terrace over the Intal valley. At 180 meters above Arzl in 1966, archaeologists discovered a settlement left over from prehistoric times, which was later used by the ancient Romans. They built an observation tower here, which was later transformed into a medieval castle.

Modern tourists come to Arzl for the thrill. There is a sports park here, and several clubs operate. Bungee jumping fans gather on the highest pedestrian bridge in Europe, which is laid at an altitude of 94 meters. The Inn River rafting routes start near Arzl. Lovers of a quiet holiday will also find something to do in Arzl. For them, there are regular open-air concerts, carnival parades and much more. An extensive network of hiking trails is laid in the vicinity of the village. Arzl is also not empty in winter. Sportsmen come here who want to ride on the Pitztal glacier.
