Schwaz
Schwaz silver mine (visitors are driven on a mine railway past sinter and stalactite formations into the underground world of mining). In the early days of mining in the 15th and 16th century, Schwaz was the biggest mining metropole in Europe (approx.20,000 inhabitants, today 12,200 inhabitants), planetarium; parish church "of Our Lady": the largest Gothic hall church in Tyrol - owing to the growth in population in about 1490, the church had to be extended, which explains why the peculiarity of a church with four transepts and two main transepts of equal importance came to exist. Totenkappele (chapel of the dead): 2 floors, Michaelskapelle and Veitskapelle chapels. Enzenberg Palace: connected with a parish church by an arcade, columned doorway of particular interest. Lahnbach river walls: obstruction of the Lahnbach river in 1855. Cinema, swimming pool, tennis centre.
