Ötziland
Ötziland is an independent guide to two connected subjects: the story of Ötzi, the 5,300-year-old mummy found in the Alps in 1991, and the Ötztal Alps themselves — the Tyrolean region where his discovery site lies. Not an official tourism board site; independently researched, sourced, and corrected where the popular version of the story has moved on.
Ötzi the Iceman
Start with the full overview — who Ötzi was, exactly where and how he was found, what current research says about his death and DNA, and why the discovery site is in Italy rather than Austria despite the name.

The Ötztal Alps straddle the Austria–Italy border and offer hiking from easy valley walks to serious high-alpine routes. English coverage of specific trails, villages, and travel planning is still being built out — for now, the most detailed material is in German, covering the discovery site itself and the Ötztaler Urweg long-distance trail.
More English articles are being added progressively rather than all at once — this section will grow.
