		The Brenner Pass (Italian Passo del Brennero) is a mountain pass that creates a link through the Tyrolean Alps along the current border between the nations of Austria and Italy, one of the principal passes of the Alps.
		It is the lowest (4,495 ft/1,370 m) and easiest of the Alpine passes, one of the few accessible points through which the Alps can be crossed in the Tyrol region, and for that reason possession of the pass has long been coveted.
		The Europabrücke (Bridge Europe) a few kilometers north of the Brenner is a large concrete bridge, letting the autobahn pass with 6 lanes over the valley of the Sill River at a height of 180 m.
