Rattenberg
| Recenter Map To This Location |
This is a picturesque medieval walled town that rose to prominence because of its valuable salt mines. These were exhausted in the early part of the 18th century but now the town is famous for the production of fine glassware—a craft brought to Rattenberg many years ago by refugees from Czechoslovakia. The streets are lined with many shops selling all kinds of glass, most of which are finely engraved or etched. You can watch the craftsmen at work and have your name or initials carved while you wait. Prices are low and the shops will mail packages home tax free—a savings which more or less pays for the postage.
