!!!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.
