Dog meadows in Tyrol

Fun without a muzzle and leash requirement

More and more Tyroleans are deciding to keep a dog. However, these faithful companions need plenty of exercise. They are allowed to romp around with their fellow dogs on so-called dog meadows - without a lead or muzzle. However, Krone readers are constantly complaining that there are not enough dog meadows. The provincial capital is particularly affected.

"Give a man a dog and his soul will be healed," Hildegard von Bingen once said. Opinions may differ when it comes to dogs, but the fact is that many Tyroleans like their four-legged companions and give them a home - and the number is growing! It is difficult to determine how many dogs actually live in Tyrol. If you ask the state of Tyrol, there are around 8,000 dogs living in the state capital alone. If you ask the city itself, this number suddenly shrinks to 4,500. In 2019, the team at hundehotel.info dedicated months of meticulous and painstaking research and at that time recorded 37,931 registered dogs for Tyrol (the state of Tyrol currently speaks of 47,100)
