Even though located in the beatiful landscape in the middle of the alps, Watten in the Tyrolean mountains has not to offer much. Ans still, millions of Japanese visit this village year by year. You ask why? Simple. You will find the headquater, production site and museaum of Swarovsky there. Most likely, the finest and most famous crystal cutting company in the world. Lately they opened their own museum, just next to their plan and are attracting tourists from all over the world. Well, more precisely, 99% are coming straight from Japan....or that is how you feel.
Actually the museum does not have a lot to offer and I would consider it a waste of time and money to pass there. The exhibition changes once a while but is less than worthwhile to see.The most impressive parts are the entrance, an artificial waterfall coming out of the mouth of the face shaped artificial mountain. Real great. Apart from that, I would recommend the showroom. You do not pay entrance fee for that but if you have your girlfriend with you it will cost you a furtune.....I talk out of experience here.
