Seegrubenbahn

The cable car ride from Hungerburg to Seegrube is also 8 minutes.

Hungerburg

Hungerburg is a little town at the foot of Nordkette. We stopped at the viewing terrace in Hungerburg for some photos and proceeded straight to the cable car.

Hungerburg Station

The funicular took us to Hungerburg from the Old Town in just 8 minutes.

Nordkette

The journey to the Top of Innsbruck starts at the Altstadt Station in the Old Town. We took the Hungerburgbahn funicular to Hungerburg. From there, it was a short walk to the Seegrubenbahn station, where we boarded the cable car to Seegrube. We then transferred to the Hafelekarbahn cable car for the final ascent to Hafelekar, also known as the "Top of Innsbruck".

Adlers Hotel Innsbruck

Our plan was to visit Nordkette the next morning. However, the weather forecast showed that it would start snowing in the late afternoon and continue into the next day. So we decided to change our itinerary and bought some sandwiches for lunch at the station. We then quickly checked into our hotel and headed straight to Nordkette.

Leberkasesemmel (liver and cheese sandwich)

Despite its name, it contains neither liver nor cheese. It is made from pork and beef and tastes like gammon

We first took the S-Bahn 1 from Mitte Landstrasse to Wien Westbahnhof and from there we took the train to Innsbruck. The journey took us 4.5 hours.
