Culture is so much more: it lets us forget everyday life and the pressure of time. In Kufsteinerland, the region around the powerful Kaiser Mountains near the Austria/Bavaria border, we celebrate the summer with top-class „KUltura“ events. „Culture begins in the heart of each individual.“ Johann Nepomuk Nestroy (1801 - 1862), Austrian playwright and actor Legal notice: Responsible for the content: TVB Kufsteinerland, Unterer Stadtplatz 11-13, 6330 Kufstein, Tel.: +43 5372 62207 Graphics: ofp kommunikation GmbH, Kufstein Photos: Academia Vocalis, Operetta Summer, Tyrolean festival Erl, Passion plays Erl and Thiersee, H. Dabernig, TVB Kufsteinerland Subject to change! 3 The KUltura events include the Tyrolean festival Erl, which takes place in both summer and winter, the Operetta Summer at the historical Kufstein Fortress, the passion plays in Erl and Thiersee, as well as the master classes of the Academia Vocalis. The inspiring glück.tage are another highlight in the cultural summer of Kufsteinerland. Coupled with an authentic nature experience, the varied active programmes and the impressive panorama of the Kaiser Mountains, your days in Kufstei- nerland will be a revitalising nature & culture vacation: During the day you can enjoy a relaxing or active programme surrounded by the Tyrolean Mountains, and in the evening you can sit back and be captivated by the cultural offerings of the region. There are also tailored KUltura packages awaiting culture enthusiasts, and top-class restaurants which serve culinary delicacies made of regional pro- ducts with a glass of fine wine after the events. 4 Tyrolean festival Erl Tyrolean festival Erl The winter season programme contains mainly contemporary works, the bel canto, and works by Bach and Mozart.
