Landeck is a town in the Austrian state of Tyrol, the capital of the district of Landeck.
Landeck is located in the Tyrolean Oberland in the west of the state at an elevation of about 820 m (2,690 ft). The town is situated in the valley of the Inn River at the confluence with the Sanna tributary, between the Lechtal Alps, part of the Northern Limestone Alps in the north, and the Ötztal Alps and Samnaun Alps ranges of the Central Eastern Alps in the south.
The Inn valley is an important transport route from Tyrol to the west across the Arlberg massif. In the south, the Reschen Pass at the main chain of the Alps leads to the Vinschgau region in Italian South Tyrol.
In ancient times, the Via Claudia Augusta ran across the Reschen Pass and through the Inn Valley Landeck, connecting the Roman Italia peninsula with the Raetia province conquered in 15 BC. Throughout the Middle Ages the valley remained an important junction of trade routes leading to Augsburg via the Fern Pass and westwards across the Arlberg. From the late 13th century onwards the Meinhardiner counts of Tyrol controlled the area from their stronghold at Landeck Castle. Until 1918, LANDECK IN TIROL (named LANDEK before 1867, and LANDECK until 1893) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district of the same name, one of the 21 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in the Tyrol province.
The Bezirk Landeck is an administrative district (Bezirk) in Tyrol, Austria. It borders the district Reutte in the north, the district Imst in the east, South Tyrol (Italy) and Graubünden (Switzerland) in the south, and the district Bludenz (Vorarlberg) in the west.
The area of the district is 1,595 km². The population is 43,886 (January 1, 2015), with a population density of 28 persons per km². The administrative center is Landeck.
The district comprises the uppermost part of the Inn valley and its tributary valleys Kaunertal, Stanzer Tal, and Paznaun. Mountain ranges in the district include parts of the Ötztal Alps, the Samnaun Alps, parts of the Verwall Alps and the Lechtal Alps, and the Arlberg area.
The district is divided into 30 municipalities, one of which is a town.
Two Dreamers
You've always had the gift to make people smile
You rest inside yourself so naturally
Maybe sometimes you are far too sensitive, you know?
But that's why you mean so much to me
You helped me to believe that there's nothing that's impossible
You always knew that dreams are made for living them each day
You get what you deserve, that's an old law and the simple truth
If someone knows your deepest thoughts there's nothing more to say
Your eyes are curious and so is your mind
You want to understand the nature of all things
You're such an artist in everything you do
It is a blessing to be loved by you
You helped me to believe that there's nothing that's impossible
You always knew that dreams are made fir living them each day
You get what you deserve, that's an old law and the simple truth
