The Tyrolean municipality of Kaunerberg is one of the driest and sunniest regions in North Tyrol. Consequently, extensive irrigation systems known as ‘Waale’ characterise the landscape. Since 1947, Kaunerberg has also been home to one of the largest fruit orchards in the province - would you have known that?
