In the centre of the Wildschönau at 936 m altitude lies the picturesque village of Oberau. The landmark of Oberau is the 250 year old baroque church, sometimes known as the Cathedral because of its size. The views are of the Schatzberg with its ski slopes to the south and the Wilder Kaiser mountains to the north.

The 24 km long high valley near Wörgl is one of the district's tourist centers. Besides a few hamlets, the municipality consists of the four church villages Niederau, Oberau, Auffach and Thierbach and is situated in the Kitzbühel Alps. The municipal office is located in Oberau.
