Curious Tyrol

Season 5 Episode 504 | 27m 45s

Who built a chapel on the edge of an Alpine cliff? What does a pagan beast and a Catholic tradition have to do with a children’s parade? Where can you dance the Schuplattler? And eat an ‘Imperial Mess’? Why did the Lüftlmalerei tradition start? When did Emperor Franz Joseph & Empress Sissi sleep in a snowy retreat? How do you make an igloo? Yodel-Lay-Hee-Hoo, it’s time to get curious about Tyrol!
