The Thierseetal is a valley between the Bavarian Prealps and the Brandenberger Alps in Tyrol , which extends northwest of Kufstein roughly parallel to the Inn Valley and the Bavarian border. The Thierseer Ache flows through it, which flows into the Inn in Kiefersfelden .
geography
The valley extends from Thiersee to the west through soft Jura and chalk layers . To the east of it, the Thierseer Ache breaks through a narrow gorge, the Klausenbachtal , to the Inn. The Thierseetal has two parallel valley furrows. The Ache runs through the northern, deeper and narrower ones, the southern, which is wider and higher, forms a kind of low mountain range that is cut through by several cross streams. This old valley furrow shows numerous ice age sediments .
There are numerous places scattered across the valley, including the largest Vorderthiersee ( 682 m above sea level ), Mitterland ( 846 m above sea level ), Landl ( 685 m above sea level ) and Hinterthiersee ( 862 m above sea level ) . ). Together they form the Thiersee community .
Development
The valley is accessed by the 17.4 km long Thierseestraße (L37), which leads from Kufstein- Zell over the Marblinger Höhe , Vorderthiersee and Landl to the state border at the Ursprung Pass. In Vorderthiersee the 7.5 km long L30 Hinterthierseestraße branches off and leads via Mitterland and Hinterthiersee to Landl, where it joins the L37 again.
history
In the 14th and 15th centuries the valley was referred to as the or in the Tiersee . Around 1500 the expression the valley Tiersee appears for the first time , Tiersee valley it is only called by Johann Jakob Staffler in the 19th century. The name Thiersee suggests that it was originally a hunting area. The valley was probably settled in the late 11th or 12th century. Cattle and timber industry used to be the main sources of income, the wood from the valley was on the Thierseer Ache to Kiefersfelden getriftet where it in the ironworks was used as fuel. Today agriculture and tourism play the most important role.
