The Kufstein song (also known as the Kufstein song ) is a popular folk song in the German-speaking area. It was composed in 1947 by the Tyrolean Karl Ganzer . With the record of the Bavarian singer and yodeler Franzl Lang in 1968, the song became one of the greatest hits of popular music. The Kufstein song established the often cited epithet Kufstein as the pearl of Tyrol or the city ​​on the green Inn and is an advertising medium for the tourist town of Kufstein .

The Kufstein song, consisting of three stanzas with a yodeled refrain, is about a vacation in Kufstein and sings of the landscape, mountains, the “Maderl” and the wine. In the third stanza the text describes the end of the vacation and the journey home. The piece is often mistakenly viewed as a Tyrolean folk song or a regional anthem. The original yodel in Karl Ganzer's original version was replaced by the now world-famous beer tent yodel , which in 2009 was at the heart of a legal dispute over royalties for the song.

In 1981 the Austrian singer Wilfried sang a punk version of the Kufstein song , while in the same year the band EAV set this version to music with a modified text, which gave rise to media protests during the Kufstein city tour at that time.
