Mittenwald, a village of about 8000 just across the border from Austria into Germany, is only 10 miles from Seefeld. The region is very popular for walkers and bikers with many guest houses and restaurants. It has been known for several centuries for village craftsmen making quality violins, violas, and cellos. A colorful village with painted facades on the shops and guest houses.

Each night in Innsbruck there is a Tiroler Abend (Tyrolean Evening) show featuring authentic music, folk dances, and yodelling. The hall seats about 400 and is much like a show you might see in Branson, MO with talented musicians offering lively entertainment. The cost was 29 Euro ($33) for a 1.5 hour show of non-stop music and dancing.
