7. Museum Kitzbühel
An excellent local museum located in the town’s old granary, Museum Kitzbühel (Museum der Stadt Kitzbühel) is well worth a visit. With a focus on the region’s rich history, including its popularity as a leading ski destination, its many displays include items of Tyrolese folk art and finds from ancient mines.
8. Splash about on the Schwarzsee
Those who enjoy a much slower, more laid-back pace should visit the Schwarzsee, a picturesque little lake located just three kilometers northwest of Kitzbühel. Named after its dark green waters – an effect that’s caused by its moorland setting, which has also resulted in mineral-rich water – Schwarzsee is immensely popular for swimming, sunbathing, and fishing (carp and pike are plentiful). It’s also popular for those who enjoy people-powered boating, such as canoeing and kayaking (rowboats are available for rent).
