The District of Reutte
The district of Reutte (Außerfern) with 1.236 km2 and about 32.000 habitants is the smallest area of Tyrol. Reutte consists of four subareas: Reutte and surroundings, Oberes Lechtal, Tannheimer Tal and Zwischentoren.
11 townships belong to the subarea of Reutte and surroundings. Large industrial units like the Plansee group, Schretter & Cie or Multivac have a significant impact on the region. Secondary schools are situated in the principal town Reutte. The hospital in Ehenbichl is the largest regional employer.
The Lech is one of the last untouched European rivers in the Northern Limestone Alps. 14 pretty small towns work together in the subarea Oberes Lechtal. Tourism is the predominant source of income in the valley. A lot of people have to shuttle to their workplaces in the industrial units of Reutte.
The Tannheimer Valley with its 6 small towns is probably the most beautiful high valley within the Allgaeuer Alps. Tourism has a very high importance, but there are also some handicraft producers and small farms.
Between the Zugspitze (highest peak of Germany) und the Sonnenspitze is the subarea Zwischentoren. It is a typical Tyrolean tourism region with some small business for touristic suppliers.
