Kufstein

Kufstein is a city in Tyrol, Austria, located along the river Inn, in the lower Inn valley, near the border with Bavaria, Germany, and is the site of a post World War II French sector United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration Displaced Persons camp.

Kufstein sits astride the Inn River as it flows north from the Tyrol into Germany. The fortress ( Festung Kufstein) is built on the eastern hillside overlooking the river.
