Tyrolean Oberland
The Tyrolean Oberland (german: Tiroler Oberland) is that part of the Austrian state of Tyrol west of Innsbruck or, more precisely, west of the Melach river, but excluding the Außerfern region. Language and extent The most common dialect in the Tyrolean Oberland is Southern Austro-Bavarian, an Alemannian accent becoming increasingly noticeable the further west of Imst one goes. The dialect in the Walser village of Galtür and in St. Anton am Arlberg can be considered part of the Alemannic dialect continuum. In many cases the region of Außerfern is also counted as part of the Oberland, although it is very isolated from the Tyrolean Oberland. The reasons for this are mainly administrative in nature, because the Außerfern has a very low population. In addition, several dialects in the Außerfern are very similar to the Oberland dialects and cause confusion even within Tyrol itself.

District (Austria)
A district (german: Bezirk) is a second-level division of the executive arm of the Austrian government.

Austrian constitutional law distinguishes two types of district administrative authority: *district commissions (), district administrative authorities that exist as stand-alone bureaus; *statutory cities ( or ), cities that have been vested with district administration functions in addition to their municipal responsibilities, i.e. district administrative authorities that only exist as a secondary role filled by something that primarily is a city (marked in the table with an asterisk (*). As of 2017, there are 94 districts, of which 79 are d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Via Claudia Augusta

The route still exists, and since the 1990s increased interest in long-distance hiking and cycling have made the German and Austrian stretches of the Via Claudia Augusta popular among tourists, with the result that modern signage (''illustration'') identifies the revitalised track. Since 2007, the ''Giontech Archeological Site'', in Mezzocorona/Kronmetz (Italy) serves as the Via Claudia Augusta International Research Center with the support of the ''Foundation Piana Rotaliana'' and the Government of the City of Mezzocorona/Kronmetz. History In 15 BC, the Roman general Nero Claudius Drusus, the stepson of Augustus, got orders from his stepfather to improve the passage through the Alps for military purposes and to increase Roman control ...
