!!!Gurgltal

Gurgl Valley, Tirol, eastern headvalley of the Oetztal valley, drained 
by the Gurgler Ache river, which rises at the Gurgl Glacier. At 
Zwieselstein (alt. 1,470 m) the Gurgl Valley merges with the 
Venter Tal valley to form the Oetztal valley; main village is 
Obergurgl (alt. 1,907 m, in the municipality of Soelden). 
Obergurgl is the highest-lying parish in Austria and in earlier times 
farmland was cultivated at very high altitudes; today this land is 
only used as gardens.
