course
The Tuxer Straße branches off the Zillertalstraße (B 169) in Mayrhofen , crosses the Zemmbach and then leads uphill through Finkenberg on the left side of the Tuxer Valley . With the Rosengarten Bridge over the Tuxbach , it changes to the right side of the valley and runs through several galleries . Shortly before Vorderlanersbach , it crosses the Tuxbach again. The road continues through Lanersbach, Juns and Madseit and ends at the village square of Hintertux. From there it continues as a municipal road for around 1 km to the valley station of the Hintertux Glacier Lift . From Mayrhofen to Hintertux, the Tuxer Straße overcomes an altitude difference of around 840 meters.
history
The Tuxer Tal was originally only accessible by mule tracks over the Geiseljoch , the Tuxer Joch and from Mayrhofen. With the advent of tourism towards the end of the 19th century, the need for better-developed roads increased. In 1907 the Zillertalstrasse was built, roads into the side valleys were to follow. In 1909 the state committee approved the construction of a competing road from Mayrhofen to Tux. The municipalities of Mayrhofen, Finkenberg, Tux and Schmirn (to which Hintertux belonged until 1926) shared the costs of building and maintaining the road after long negotiations. Routing negotiations took place on June 3 and 4, 1909, with the route of the new road following the old mule track.
At the beginning of 1911, construction of the road began from the “Gstan” below Finkenberg and from the Staudenhäusl in Vorderlanersbach. Ten bridges had to be built for this, all of which were made of wood except for the stone rose garden bridge. Despite some difficulties caused by landslides, construction proceeded quickly. After almost two years of construction, the road to Lanersbach was completed. On June 29, 1913, the new Tuxer Strasse could be used for the first time with a car . To cover the high construction costs, it was decided on February 3, 1914 to collect a toll .
On June 1, 1927, the municipality of Tux began regular regular mail transport with three Austro-Fiat cars . From the 1960s on, Tuxer Strasse was expanded and made avalanche-proof with numerous protective structures. The Zemmbach Bridge was rebuilt in 1970/71 and the Rosengarten Bridge in 1980/81.
traffic
Because of the glacier ski area at the end of the valley, the Tuxer Straße is of greater importance in holiday traffic. In 2018, an average of 5,176 vehicles were counted at the Mayrhofen-Finkenberg counting station in 24 hours.
