The 24 km long high valley of Wildschönau is the centre of tourism in the district of Kufstein. Wildschönau is subdivided into numerous isolated farmhouses and four villages on the slopes: Thierbach, Auffach, Niederau and Oberau, the administrative centre of Wildschönau. The gentle slopes of the Kitzbüheler Grasberge Mountains provide the ideal basis for tourism, intensive agriculture and timber industry. There are still 200 farms in Wildschönau. Due to rich ore deposits, mining was long very prosperous in the valley. In the Kundler Gorge, with the Wildschönauer Ache River, gold was found.
