Innsbruck

We finished our Italian tour in Austria because of flight schedules. We're glad we had the opportunity to visit Innsbruck. It's a beautiful city.




As part of our visit, we took the Hungerburgbahn from Innsbruck up a mountain.We traveled from Innsbruck (elevation 1,837 feet) to Hungerburg (elevation 2,680 feet), but not to the absolute top at elevation 7,402 feet. As you can imagine, the views are astonishing.


So were the stations, designed by architect Zaha Hadid. Quite a contrast to the architecture in Old Town Innsbruck.


Next post will be about the food we enjoyed in Innsbruck. White asparagus, anyone?
