Kufstein




Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
 
Kufstein is one of the preeminent, historical and potential tourism destinations that is located in Europe. Kufstein is an old city in Tyrol, Austria. It is located along the river Inn, in the lower Inn valley, near the border to Bavaria, Germany. It has about 17,000 inhabitants, over an area of 39,37 square kilometers and is at an elevation of 499 meters above sea level. Kufstein is the second largest city in Tyrol and capital of the district Kufstein.
 
The total area of the city is 83,871 square kilometers and a population estimated as of 2006 was 8,292,322, according to 2001 census it was 8,032,926. Its density was 99 per square kilometers. Just two years before the abolition of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, in 1804 the Empire of Austria was founded, which was transformed in 1867 into the dual-monarchy Austria-Hungary. Between 1918 and 1919 it was officially known as the Republic of German Austria.
 
Though Austria is a small country, its history as a European power and its cultural environment have generated a broad contribution to art and science. It has been the professional birthplace of many famous composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner, Johann Strauss, Gustav Mahler as well as members of the second viennese school such as Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern or Alban Berg. Ludwig van Beethoven spent the better part of his life in Vienna.

Kufstein can also be considered as the preeminent, historical and potential tourism destination that enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers to become one of the most visited places.
