"Die Festung Kufstein ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt Kufstein und zählt zu den imposantesten mittelalterlichen Bauwerken Tirols. Oft wird die Festungsanlage fälschlicherweise auch Festung Geroldseck genannt. Sie liegt auf dem Festungsberg oberhalb der Stadt Kufstein auf einem 90 m hohen Felsen direkt am Inn und ist per Lift erreichbar." Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festung_Kufstein


"The Kufstein Fortress (German: Festung Kufstein) is the main landmark of Kufstein, a city of Tyrol in Austria. It is sometimes wrongly referred to as Geroldseck Fortress. It is located on a hill commanding Kufstein proper. The fortress is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1205, where it is called Castrum Caofstein. At the time it was a possession of the bishop of Regensburg. In 1415 it was reinforced by Louis VII, Duke of Bavaria. In 1504 the city and the fortress were besieged and conquered by Emperor Maximilian I. From 1703 to 1805 it was a Bavarian possession, returning to Austria in 1814. The fortress now houses the City Museum of Kufstein. Part of it is also used for concerts and meetings." Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kufstein_Fortress
