Pfunds is located in idyllic position in the tri-border region close to Switzerland and Italy
Altitude: 970 m a.s.l.
Seven hamlets and the localities of Stuben and Pfunds-Dorf, connected by an old wooden bridge, form the municipal area of Pfunds. Since the Eighties, Pfunds has attached great importance to ecological community policy, establishing solar panels, and focusing on energy recovery in winter gardens as well as pollution-free heating systems with biomass and wood chips.
Pfunds is the right place for active holidays. Its offer includes not only hikes and cycle tours, but also a forest high rope course on the edge of the village, and an archery course with 28 stations at the Fischer Mountain Hut. In the nearby villages of Ried, Prutz and Landeck, there are also outdoor centres which take you to a canyoning tour or a rafting adventure on the Inn river. In winter, the Pfunds Tschey high plateau is the perfect place for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing.
The village boasts various cultural sights you shouldn't miss, such as the Local Museum Pfunds housed by a lovely farmhouse from the 14th century. Other interesting buildings are the Tower at the Inn, which served as hunting residence to the emperor Maximillian, as well as the old Judges' House (Richterhaus) with its beautiful frescoes. If you wander further up, you'll come to the Greit Mill, where - according to an old recipe - on a regular basis bread is baked in the stone oven.
