Tyrolean Oberland
The western part of the northern part of the state of Tyrol is called the Tiroler Oberland (also North Tyrolean Oberland ) .
On concept and delimitation
The Oberland in North Tyrol includes the area west of the Melach , except for the Ausserfern in the north-west, i.e. the Upper Inn Valley and all of its side valleys.
In some cases, the Ausserfern is also counted as part of the Oberland, although this is an area that is strongly isolated from the Tyrolean Oberland. The reasons for this are mostly of an administrative nature, because the Ausserfern has a rather small population.
Cities in the Oberland are Imst and Landeck , but Telfs is the largest municipality in terms of population .
NUTS breakdown: AT334
In the official statistics of the EU led NUTS headings from is Tiroler Oberland one of the five groups of districts (level NUTS: AT -3) in Tyrol, carries the code AT334and includes the two political districts :
The Innsbruck-Land district , which is traditionally partly part of the Oberland or Unterland, falls in AT332 Innsbruck.
Culture and language
Mainly southern Bavarian dialects are spoken in the Tyrolean Oberland , with an Alemannic accent becoming increasingly noticeable from Imst Westwärts . The dialect in the Walser village of Galtür in the Paznaun and in St. Anton am Arlberg in the Stanzertal can already be counted as part of the Alemannic dialect continuum.
In addition, some dialects in the Ausserfern region are very similar to the Oberland dialects, which can even lead to confusion in Tyrol.
