Reutte, Austria

Reutte is a market town of some 6,000 people but it can be called a tourist paradise as it has two seasons - winter and summer thanks to its Alpine location as well as a rich historical past which is shown in the buildings in the town as well as its 'highlights' which are located on the ancient Via Claudia Augusta, a Roman road leading from Italy to Germany and once protected by three fortresses, the remains of which one can see today and which are linked by the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world! Essential sightseeing includes the Ehrenberg complex with the Highline 179 bridge and Klause museum, the Alpentherme Ehrenberg spa, the bare foot walking trail, the old town and of course hiking in the mountains all around! Reutte was declared a market town by Duke Sigmund in 1489 and this is still celebrated today with an annual festival on the first Saturday in August. The salt trade above all brought great wealth to Reutte and this is evident in the style of the buildings with their ornate murals. From 1692 the painter Paul Zeiller had a workshop in Reutte that later became an art school. His son Johann Jakob Zeiller and cousin Franz Anton Zeiller both received their first lessons here and we can see their works in the many murals throughout the town.
