Woergl Logistics Center (Austria)

Weather…

The Woergl Logistics Center is one of the most significant transport hubs in western Austria and a central factor for the economy of the Tyrolean Unterland. Strategically located at the intersection of the A12 Inntal Motorway and the Western Railway, Woergl functions as a turntable for freight traffic between Germany, Italy, and eastern Austria. The town achieved particular fame for its pioneering role in combined transport (ROLA), where trucks are loaded onto trains to make Alpine crossings more environmentally friendly. The economic structure is shaped by major logistics and trade companies that value its optimal accessibility. Historically, Woergl evolved from a rural village into a modern service and commercial center, with railway construction in the 19th century providing the decisive impetus. Today, Woergl is Tyrol's second-largest shopping destination and a vital educational and administrative site for the entire Kufstein region. The town is also globally known for its historical 'free money' experiment in the 1930s.
