!!!Außerfern

Ausserfern, also called Aussfern, Tyrol, region of the lower Lechtal 
Valley and headwaters of the River Loisach (valley basin of Ehrwald, 
seen from the Inntal valley as "ausserhalb des Fernpasses" = outside 
of the Fernpass), largely coincides with the political district of  
Reutte. From the rest of Tyrol, Ausserfern is only accessible via the 
Fernpass or from Germany (Mittenwaldbahn railway). This alpine 
landscape, with its many lakes (Plansee, Heiterwangersee, 
Fernsteinsee, Blindsee, Weissensee, Haldensee and Vilsalpsee), is a 
biseasonal tourist region. Like the entire Lechtal valley, it was 
settled by the Alemannic people; the region became part of the County 
of Tyrol at the end of the 13th century, but the economic and cultural 
ties to the Alpine foothills always remained very strong.
