Zirl, Tyrol
Zirl is a market town in the district of Innsbruck-Land in the Austrian state of Tyrol located 10 km west of Innsbruck at the bottom of a pass up the side of the Zirler Berg, leading to Seefeld and ultimately to Germany. The location was mentioned in documents in 799 for the first time.[2] Zirl was tortured several times by inundations and fires but nevertheless the population has increased in the last years. The status „Market town“ was received in 1984.
