==Geography== Tyrol is separated into two parts, divided by a {{convert|7|km|mi|adj=mid|wide}} strip of [[Salzburg (federal state)|Salzburg State]]. The two constituent parts of Tyrol are the northern and larger [[North Tyrol]] ({{Langx|de|Nordtirol|label=none}}) and the southeastern and smaller [[East Tyrol]] (''{{Langx|de|Osttirol|label=none}}''). Salzburg State lies to the east of North Tyrol, while on the south Tyrol has a border to the [[Italy|Italian]] province of [[South Tyrol]], which was part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] before the [[First World War]]. With a land area of {{convert|12683.85|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, Tyrol is the third-largest federal state in Austria. North Tyrol shares its borders with the federal states Salzburg in the east and [[Vorarlberg]] in the west. In the north, it adjoins the [[Germany|German]] federal state of [[Bavaria]]; in the south, it shares borders with the [[Italy|Italian]] province of [[South Tyrol]] and the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[canton (country subdivision)|canton]] of [[Graubünden]]. East Tyrol shares its borders with the federal state of [[Carinthia (state)|Carinthia]] to the east and Italy's [[Province of Belluno]] ([[Veneto]]) to the south. The federal state's territory is located entirely within the [[Eastern Alps]] at the [[Brenner Pass]]. The highest mountain in the federal state is the [[Großglockner]], part of the [[Hohe Tauern]] range on the border with Carinthia. It has a height of 3,797 m (12,457.35 ft), making it the highest mountain in Austria. ===Lakes=== *[[Achen Lake]] *[[Buchsee (Bezirk Kufstein)]] *[[Fernsteinsee]] *[[Frauensee (Bezirk Kufstein)]] *[[Gritzer See]] *[[Moalandlsee]] *[[Pfrillsee]] *[[Taubensee (Kössen/Unterwössen)]]
