5/8/19 Innsbruck and the Alps

We drove down the hill from Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany to Innsbruck which is in Austria. When I say down the hill, I mean down the hill, 13% grade down the Alps!

We visited Innsbruck in 86 and weren’t impressed, today even less. It’s a town famous for hosting the 84 Winter Olympics. The sights are minimal and the tourist crowds huge. If you’ve not just driving through, we’d take a pass on Innsbruck. So much more to see off the beaten path than that!

Visited a couple more city’s on the drive back up the hill to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and one last walk through our lovely host city.

Enjoying a glass of wine on the deck, planning our trip through Austria/Liechtenstein then into Switzerland where we are staying 6 nights.

Everything is very, very expensive in Switzerland, so we will stock up on staples before the border.

Auf Wiedersehen for now!

  1. Everywhere you have been so far is just lovely. Still looks chilly though. Hope spring comes soon for you. Forecast here is 85 degrees this weekend. Hugs, Deb
