Reutte, in a wide basin in the valley of the Lech, is the chief town of the Ausserfern district, to the north of the Fernpass, and an important traffic junction between Füssen and Pfronten in Germany, the Fernpass, the upper Lech valley (Hochtannberg Pass and Flexen Road) and the Tannheimer Tal (Oberjoch and Gaicht Pass).
Reutte possesses some
handsome 18th C. burghers' houses with painted facades, gables and oriel windows (e.g. the Zeillerhaus in the Untermarkt). The 17th C. parish church in the Breitenwang district has some beautiful ceiling painting and Baroque relief medallions of the Dance of Death in the mortuary chapel. The local museum is also of interest.
