The Rosenjoch is a mountain, 2,796 m (AA), and the highest point of the Voldertal and Arztal in the western Tux Alps. The top which bears a summit cross lies on the Inn Valley Mountain Trail (Inntaler Höhenweg) between the Glungezer Hut and Lizumer Hut in the Wattentaler Lizum and is thus frequently climbed in summer. The Rosenjoch may also be reached from the Voldertal Hut. In late winter and early spring the Rosenjoch is popular with skiers. Nevertheless, its ascent requires safe conditions.

Judenstein (Meaning "Jew stone") is a district of the village Rinn, Austria. In 1671, the blood libel cult of Anderl von Rinn emerged, and a church was built around a rock where a child (Anderl, "Little Andrew") allegedly had been murdered by Jews in a ritual murder, thus the name of the place.There is a large stone within the nave of the church which had probably been brought in from elsewhere as there are no other large freestanding stones in the immediate neighbourhood, although there were back when the church was built. The church is lavishly decorated with paintings and mouldings in Rococo style that is said to have been carried out in 1730/40. The same style of elaborate decoration can be seen in a number of churches in the area, for example nearby Rinn, which is even more elaborate, and notably in Innsbruck.

The Weißenbach is a river of Tyrol, Austria, a tributary of the Inn. The Weißenbach rises in the valley Halltal and flows near Absam from Gnadenwald to the south to the village of Mils, which is located 12 km (7.5 mi) east of Innsbruck. In Mils just after the Lower Inn Valley Railway bridge it discharges into the Inn. The river has a gradient of 8 - 9%. It divides into three parts: The main part passes through Mils in a large gravel layer with a water quality between A and B grade. The river has already been channelised several times but is still a danger for the village.Side arm 1: As the Amtsbach this arm flows through Absam as far as the Münzturm of Hall in Tirol where it changes its direction eastward to Mils. This is the larger one of the two arms and provides Absam with its drinking water supply as well as water for a saw mill. The grade fluctuates between A and B grade.Side arm 2: As the Baubach the second arm flows through Eichat to Hall in Tirol where it merges with the Amtsbach and then flows further east to rejoin the main part. In Eichat the river is often misused as a rubbish dump which reduces the water quality to B grade.From Hall in Tirol to Mils the water quality is B grade due to the wastewater of the city and the facilities which use the water. In the larger undercurrents there are few fish anyway.
