Rattenberg Old Town

The glass town of Rattenberg in Tyrol is the smallest town in Austria with just under 400 inhabitants. In the medieval pedestrian zone you can linger wonderfully.

Rattenberg may carry the title of “city”, but it has barely 440 inhabitants and extends over barely 11 hectares. This also makes Rattenberg the smallest city in Austria. The city, which managed to preserve its medieval cityscape, was often a bone of contention between Bavaria and Tyrol. The town has been part of Tyrol since 1504.
Rattenberg became famous mainly thanks to glass processing. Almost everywhere in the narrow streets you will discover shops selling beautifully crafted glass.

The city fountain is also called the 'Notburga fountain'.

Saint Notburga is patroness of the maids and farmers. Of the work and Sunday rest and of the closing time. Moreover, she has become the patroness of the traditional costumes. Her intercession is invoked for a smooth delivery, for all kinds of diseases in livestock and difficulties in agriculture and animal husbandry.
