Birgitz is a small and pretty community (which is like a small town or village) in Austria. It's located in the Tyrol region, about 10 kilometers southwest of Innsbruck, the capital city of Tyrol. Birgitz sits on a high, flat area, like a natural terrace. Its neighbors are Axams to the west and Götzens to the east.
People have known about this area for a very long time! The name "Birga" was used here even around 100 BC. Birgitz is growing quickly. Because of this, it might eventually join with the nearby village of Götzens.
