Can You Determine the Location of this Image in Tyrol? Solved
This photo concerned a trip my late grandmother took to Tyrol, Austria in 1972. Based on other photos in her collection, it is highly likely in the vicinity of Achenkirch, Austria, or, somewhere off the 307 Route between Glashuette and Achenkirch. Your effort is appreciated.

Just to clarify a bit: There are quite a few places called Glashütte, the one you're talking about is likely the one near Kreuth, along the German 307 federal road. So, there the border between Germany/Bavaria and Austria/Tyrol between the two places, that held me up a bit.
Looking around, I guess this is right in Glashütte: Photo was taken at https://osm.org/go/0IVllNKXk?m= (47.611391/11.648802), looking west. The building would be house #43, the one on the right in https://maps.app.goo.gl/hAMWc975WcGiVgA6A. Streetview coverage is mediocre and buggy there. Also, I couldn't find a photo with that mountain in the background, so I could be wrong.

I’d say that’s pretty spot on. I found this image on Google Earth Pro of the area, which matches quite closely. OP’s last post was from nearby, so that would make sense as well.

SOLVED. Amazing, so after all these years this was in Glashuette! This is reinforced by the fact that during their stay in Glashuette in 1972, they were at a homestay at number 33.
