Tyrol

The state of Tyrol is separated into two parts, divided by a 20-kilometre wide (12 mi) strip that is known as the Alpine divide. The larger territory is called North Tyrol (Nordtirol) and the smaller area South-East Tyrol (Osttirol). The neighbouring Austrian state of Salzburg borders the Italian province of South Tyrol which was part of the Tyrol prior to the First World War.

Rifflsee

The Rifflsee (rarely Riffelsee) is the largest lake in the Oetztal Alps. The lake is located in the Kaunergrat west above the Pitz Valley and is a typical moraine reservoir. The lake fills a vast basin, the glacier murky water looks greenish. It is framed in the north and west by rugged peaks of the Kaunergrat, especially striking are Seekogel and Rostizkogel. In sunny and warm weather, a considerable amount is supplied to meltwater from Seekarles-, hole and Rifflferner.
