    A little bit of history:

    There is evidence of a settlement at the Innsbruck area from the early Stone Age, 4,000 BC. Remains of Bronze Age settlements, dating back to 2,000 BC, were found all over the area as well. Remnants of Illyrian urns can be found in Hötting, Mühlau and Völs, as well as in Wilten and on foot of Bergisel Hill.

    Innsbruck lies at the junction of the main historic route across the Brenner Pass, a major crossroad of the Roman Empire that forked off at Innsbruck both to the West towards Arlberg and to the East towards Salzburg / Munich

    Circa 1180 there was the first recorded mention of the bridge crossing the Inn River. The name of the town is derived from the original meaning "Bridge over the Inn". This bridge was a key factor in the development of trade and the movement of goods between regions both north and south of the Alps.

    Much of altstadt Innsbruck is located on or near the banks of the River Inn. The name of the city is derived from the first medieval bridge built across the river ( Inn brucke ). The pedestrain promenade along the river bank offers superb views of altstadt. Close to the north bank of the river are the magestic mountains where the pristine streams that feed the river originate. The surrounding mountains provide a very scenic backdrop for the city.

    Most of the altstadt buildings including those pictured were built in the Gothic era, but owe most of their present exterior appearance to the Rennaisance and Baroque eras. The twin bell towers shown are of the city cathedral ( dom zu sk. Jakob ). The ancient cathedral which dominates the city center, was rebuilt in the high Baroque style from 1717 to 1724.

    The river Inn is very closed the old town of Innsbruck. It is a good place for walking. Near the Inn Brucke during the summer time there is a festival where you can taste good Austrian food.

    Innsbruck gives you the chance to take a great walk all at the side of the river Inn, giving you a 360° view of the city, from one side to the other.

    This is one really well taken care of river. It actually is green looking. They catch fish out of here and eat them, not like in US. Water flow from the mountains sustains the river level. I hope it continues. Some local fisherman still catch fish daily and clean them on the bank when they return. It is worth the site to see the culture and process.

    Walking along the river is a must do and a must see... The colorful buildings on the left bank of River Inn and the backdrop of the mountains are just wonderful.

    Walking alongside the river with colourful buildings beside you and a glorious background of snow-capped mountains and the symphony of rushing water just beneath you is certainly a calming way to see this city.

    Very strong current - especially considering that this is the month of July, and Austria is in the middle of a drought! And it's a very muddy river too.

    The Hungerburgbahn takes you over the green Inn to the Alpenzoo or further with Nordkettenbahn to Seegrube and Hafelekarspitze (2334m).
