Wattens
Wattens is a small industrial town in the Inn valley, about 15 km east of Innsbruck. It is the home of Swarovski, the crystal maker, and the company shapes the town and its main attraction.
The town works well as a short stop on the way between Innsbruck and the Zillertal. The mountains of the Tux Alps rise to the south and the Karwendel to the north.
