About Schwaz
Known also as the "silver town" due to its long history of silver mining, the cozy city of Schwaz is also the holiday center of this region. A visit to Schwazer Silberbergwerk (Silver Mine) is certainly very exciting and educational as visitors embark on a small train that takes them deep into the mountain. But the city offers many other sightseeing opportunities. Looking for some fun and unforgettable experience then a visit to the Haus Steht Kopf (“the house that stands on its head”) is “a must”. The parish church “Our Lovely Lady” is the largest gothic hall church in Tyrol, whose roof is covered by 15.000 copper plates. Schloss Freundsberg sits majestically on top on a hill and overlooks the city. This delightfully quaint castle features an interesting museum and a gorgeous church.
