The Thierberg is located in the north of the city of Kufstein or southwest of Kiefersfelden and thus extends over the state border between Austria and Germany , but is mostly in Tyrol . On the not too high mountain - the Inn valley is around 500 meters above sea level - there are several lakes: Egelsee , Hechtsee , Längsee and Pfrillsee .

The Thierberg is eponymous for the village and cadastral community Thierberg , which was independent for a long time before it was incorporated by Kufstein.

Thierberg Castle ( 721  m above sea level ) is located on the mountain . It was built by the Freundsbergers around 1280. It later became a popular pilgrimage destination . Next to the ruins is the Thierberg Chapel of the same name, which has been inhabited and cared for by a hermit for centuries. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the castle ruins can be climbed via wooden stairs. On top of the newly built roof you have a 360 ° panoramic view of the Inn Valley. The chapel and the castle ruins can be reached. a. about the Gasthof Neuhaus. From there a 25-minute Way of the Cross leads up. Another path begins at the Hechtsee, from which a forest path first leads to another fork in the path and then over the Ramsau farm to the rear of the castle ruins.
