!!!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.
