My mother used to rave about Innsbruck so we decided to go there on our way back from Croatia last year. Our hotel was up on a hill and close enough to the centre to walk or cycle down. The magnificent view from our Gasthof balcony, the famous Golden Roof, the Palace chapel with its incredibly intricate bronze statues, the façades of the houses on our street, the main street with the Alps in the background and the river views were definitely worth the visit. It also turned out to be one of our favourite cycling experiences which I’ve described in another post.
The statue is quite beautiful. The faces on the elbows show an amazing attention to detail. I don’t recall ever seeing anything like that elsewhere.
And that was just one of the statues! Each one had incredible detail.
I absolutely loved Innsbruck when I was there, particularly being so close to the Alps!
Next time you have to do the cycle trip!
