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.

We got the sandwiches here

Our hotel is near the station

A semi-circular room with glass windows

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

Landstrasse to Innsbruck

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.

Our train at 9.08 am

We will go to Innsbruck today.

Hilton Vienna Park Hotel

Our boy managed to get a corner room for himself. It has a hall and a reading area.

Zum Martin Sepp

Our purpose in coming to Grinzing was to have dinner at one of the Heurigen. We chose this one because many of the Heurigen had not yet opened for the summer season. I would suggest visiting during the summer when there is outdoor seating.

Spare Ribs

Gnocchi with Wild Garlic

Breaded Herb Crusted Lamb Escalope

Pfarrkirche Grinzing

The church was built between 1417 and 1426 by twelve local villagers. It allowed the villagers to worship locally instead of walking to Heiligenstadt which is about 3 km away.
