Walk 7: Authentic Innsbruck

Leave the Old Town and, after just a few steps, you can set off on an exciting journey through time. To the north you can admire the colourful ensemble of buildings and church towers of "Anpruggen", the oldest part of Innsbruck today called St. Nikolaus, Mariahilf and Hötting.
With the River Inn in the foreground and the Nordkette mountains as a backdrop, these 15th century buildings with their towering gables are amongst the most photographed motifs in Innsbruck. But it’s worth looking further afield. If you stroll through the streets of St. Nikolaus and Mariahilf, you get a sense of the original Innsbruck. You feel transported back decades, even centuries in time.
The Golden Roof may well be just round the corner, but only a few tourists find their way here. They’re missing out, because a walk through these undiscovered alleys and hidden squares is really worthwhile. A walk for all those who want to take their time and have a look behind the scenes. It’s also a great tour for church lovers!

Forecast
On Tuesday, a low pressure area will pass over our region from the northwest temporarily bringing humid air masses.
To be more precise, we will have to say good-bye to the sun! We will see mostly heavy cloud and areas of precipitation that will occasionally pass over our region.
Tendency
During the next few days, our weather will remain changeable. Temporary sunny spells will alternate with periods of thick cloud and a few showers.
