"Beautiful mountains, sunny heights? Frühtau to the mountains we zieh'n, fallera? San me the funny Holzhackerbuam? Vagabond mountain we are we? Wherever i go and get, I'm so hurt's heart, holaredlduliri, diridldulio, diridldulio, diridldulio? " The solo entertainers trällert in a medley across the Alps. Finally, he leaves on his zither an operetta melody tone: "Two hearts in three-four time, which in May has brought together two hearts beat in three quarters?".
The guests at the rustic restaurant listening reverently. German and Austrian beer Almdudler drips into the glass. In the steam ski boots and socks on the plates Tyrolean bacon Allgäuer cheese dumplings and noodles. The kitchen in the Schrofenhütte Jungholz twin drives: German and Austrian.
The man drives zither twin: "I am a Allgäuer Tyrolese. Or a Tyrolean Allgäuer. How it's like," he philosophises between the bars. Two hearts beat in his chest. And it seems quite harmoniously, in three-four time. No trace of invective. No trace of the usual German-Austrian Frotzelei.
Zip codes of two countries
Half Allgäuer half Tyrolean? as the sole entertainer ticking a large proportion of young Holzer. The place belongs politically to Austria, to accurately state Tyrol, but geographically located on the edge of the Upper Allgäu. Jungholz is almost completely surrounded by German borders, and only on a German road accessible. It is therefore a so-called functional enclave? a place of up to a mere body of another state is limited. In other words, Jungholz Tyrol is a corner in the Allgäu.
The only territorial connection to the Austrian mother country is the height of 1636 meters high Sorgschrofens. It connects with the Jungholz Tannheimer Valley in Tyrol. Otherwise, there are plenty of points of contact with the German neighbors, not just geographic. The city has about an Austrian and a German postal code. Most goods are based in Germany.
The largest bridge, is the tourist: "Most of our clients are Germans," says Hans Hatt, CEO of the ski lifts. Tyrolean country people would rather look rarely leave. Above all, German families steer young wood. The slopes below the Sorgschrofens with its six lifts are as contemplative, child-friendly ski resort With a large winter playground positioned Jungholz confidently as an ideal family winter destination. In Märcheniglus or mini-lifts, the so-called magic carpets, get the kids to know the snow.
The ten kilometers of the downhill ski area are more tame than spectacular. But they are therefore reasonably certain that the Papis after a long day in the snow Familienvan with two healthy legs can steer home. If even the ski slopes are too steep, can be in Jungholz also moving horizontally. A cross-country ski trail connects with the Jungholz Tannheimer Valley.
700 guest beds on 300 residents
The ski area Jungholz was the first in the Allgäu, which has artificial snow. 1990 the plant in operation. At that time, quite controversial. But the poor snow winter in recent years, the investment paid off long ago. "Artificial snow is an emergency, so that tourism continues to work," says Hans Hatt pragmatic. You could build dozens of wellness temple, but the substance from which the winter dreams, was now even the winter white. The surgery was successful seems to be the 300-soul village has at least 700 guest beds. "The snow is the winter tourism in the city saved," estimates Hatt.

"We grow with the German mentality," says Hans Hatt. Not a single young Holzer, who works outside the village, doing so in Austria. The commuter pulls it into the Allgäu, especially after Kempten. The children of the community go in Germany to secondary schools or in teaching.
The neighboring country is for the young Holzer not only work, but also as a marriage market interesting. Jungholz has the highest proportion of non-Austrian EU citizens in Austria. Mostly it is in-Germans. "Two-State thinking is for us something very obvious," says Bernhard Eggel of Ortschef juvenile wood, "it is a fine thing to be mayor here." Mutual animosity know you do not.
Three banks in a village
As honorary mayor and hauptberuflicher Klärwärter watched Eggel that in Jungholz everything clean expires. The German tax authorities, however, it has its doubts. Three banks are there in Jungholz? a noticeably high number for a seven sq km with 300 provincial residents.
Blame is the Austrian bank secrecy and the proximity to Germany. To bring some guest in his suitcase, not only with thick winter clothing, but also thick bundle of money, which he completed in one of the three banks bunkert. Excluding capital gains in Germany have to.

During the Liechtenstein affair and the debate about German money abroad, it was left to Jungholz relatively quiet? probably because the bank customers, unlike in Liechtenstein, usually to small investors.
Werner and Ingelore put their savings in something Habhaftem to: in a fiery Tyrolean. That is the specialty of Schrofenhütte and consists of a cast iron pot, which has a Tyrolean. This is meat and vegetables cooked. "The earlier we knew not," says Ingelore, "the Tyroleans know how to hearty meals prepared." "But the beer I'd rather trust the Allgäuer," says Werner.
The two early retirees from Schleswig-Holstein is the second time in juvenile wood. "The first time is already over 30 years ago," says Ingelore, "then there were Jungholz neither newspapers nor Austrian Austrian television." And probably no magic carpets and fiery Tirolerhüte.
