Korridorverkehr#

Corridor Traffic: Under international agreements concerning important routes that lead from one part of Austria to another via a foreign state it is possible for travellers to pass foreign territory in between the two parts of Austria without the usual border controls and formalities, mostly on condition that they do not leave their vehicle. Such routes were, for example, the railway corridor between North and East Tyrol, leading through Italian territory in South Tyrol, the railway corridor from northern Burgenland and Vienna to central Burgenland via Hungarian territory (Oedenburg/Sopron), the railway line between Innsbruck and the Ausserfern region (north-western Tirol, Mittenwaldbahn railways via Mittenwald/Germany -- Garmisch-Partenkirchen/Germany - Reutte/Tyrol) and the route from the city of Salzburg to Kufstein/Tyrol via Bavaria. By road the shortest way from Vienna or Salzburg to northern Tirol and Vorarlberg leads through the Berchtesgadener Land; in Germany, the Customs Exclaves of Jungholz (Tirol) and Mittelberg (Vorarlberg) can only be reached from the rest of Austria via roads in Germany. There is no need for foreign countries to have corridors through Austria. As a result of Austria´s accession to the European Union (free movement of goods and services) and to the Schengen Agreement (freedom of movement) all Austrian regulations (with the exception of those pertaining to Hungarian territory) concerning corridor traffic became redundant.
