Hungerburg View over Innsbruck

A beautiful view over Innsbruck. A detour is worth it!

For a wonderful view of the city, you don't need to drive or hike up to the Nordkette. From the Hungerburg plateau you also have a really good overview and can make out the details of the old town and the winding Inn very well.

The first farm on the plateau, the Attlmayr-Hof, was not established until 1840. Hikers were catered for here, from where the current name is supposed to be derived: Adolf Pichler is said to have described the place as a "Hungerburg" after a very poor meal. Only with the construction of the The first mountain railway in 1905/06 really began to open up the area about 300 meters above the city centre.

But the view over Innsbruck, across to the Patscherkofel, the Wipptal and the whole enchanting Alpine panorama is worth a stopover, whether by train, on foot or by bike.
