Tirol - meine Erasmus-Abenteuer

In today's post I would like to write something about places I visited during my stay in Tirol. This Erasmus was quite unusual because of the situation with COVID-19 but thanks to my local friends I managed to get to know this piece of the world a bit better.
To be honest, I've chosen Innsbruck because of the mountains, so the pandemic world crise didn't destroy my plans so much :)

(All of the pictures axcept from Serles were taken by me.)


Seegrube
It's a mountain station (on 1905 m) on mountain range Nordkette and perfect viewpoint - you can see the whole city of Innsbruck and the valley of Inn. There is a cable railway from the center of Innsbruck, but I went there on foot.


Ebner Joch
1957 m. Breathtaking view for Achensee - the biggest lake in Tirol. Be careful if you have something to eat, because black birds know tourists well and expect you to share with them everything you have, bread, fruit, even chocolate.

Patscherkofel
2246 m. During Winter Olimpics in 1946 and 1976 the mountain was a venue for downhill race. It is also very popular ski are during each winter, but when the spring comes you can climb it on foot and take a closer look on the plants in the Alps (f.e. Zirbenweg - a mountain trail almost overgrown with Zirbe - special mountain pine).

Serles
2718 m. According to local people, it is 'must visit' if you are in Innsbruck and you are interested in mountain hiking, but you also have to have some hiking experience since the trail is quite difficult at the end. And if you are a bit crazy (like me and my local friend) you can try to go back to Innsbruck on foot, it's just about 25 km and you can enjoy spending time in the nature.

Kemateralm
This is my favourite shelter because of the rock formation that I can watch while drinking Zirbenspritzer for example. And of course it is surronded by mountain trails.

Rosenjoch, 2796
This picture was taken on 19th of June! There was still quite a lot of snow, enough for skiing. The hard part was carrying the skis (and shoes) for about two hours, from the car to... place with some snow. But it was definitely worth it.

Essen und Trinken - landestypische Gerichte

After my first week in Innsbruck I was really suprised how much meat and sweets people eat in Austria. In Polish cities half of the restaurants is vegan and eating sweets is not popular among teenagers and young adults since being 'fit' is fashionable. When I asked locals about their eating habits, they answered: 'Well, we have mountains, we are into sports, so we can eat unhealthy'. For me eating is always an important part of traveling, so I would like to take a look at traditional Austrian food and drinks. Leberkäse Despite of the name, there is no cheese. It is a loaf with a piece of meat, usually beef, bacon, and pork cuts ground, mixed and then baked together. Traditional snack after hard working day or during night drinking. Blutwurst It is a sausage made of blood. People eat it cold or hot, also grilled. You can find versions with chilli, nuts and chocolate. Marillenknödel A fresh apricot in a dough, either a potato or quark-based, covere...

Kunst und Architektur - Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße

Yeah, when it comes to art and architecture, Vienna is definitely worth seeing. But what I found especially fascinating about Austrian architecture is the connection and 'cooperation' between nature and new technologies. There are many furnicular railways that make access to the beauty of the nature easier, f.e. for families with children or disabled persons. Today I would like to focus on the highest mountain road in Austria - Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße . The idea to build a road in Hohe Tauern National Park on 2504 m was born in 1924 but at the begining no one believed that architects are really going to create something like that, since not many people had private means of transport and Austria was still suffering from economic catastrophy after the First World War. A few years later, in order to give job to unemployed, the government revived the project and decide to carry it out. Finally, it was opened on 3 August 1935 . Soon it became more popular and belov...

Innsbruck - Hipster Places

I feel like everything became 'hipster' because of the situation with COVID-19. My job was to plan a weekend in Innsbruck, cafes, restaurants etc. Yeah, but actually for most of the time of my stay everything was closed and people were not allowed to meet. That's why I would like to reccomend some places that you can visit and see always, walking on foot, no matter of the time, money and... world pandemic :) For me limited possibilities are sometimes a chance to discover something new, something that I would probably never pay attention to, if I wasn't forced to do that. So, let's take a look on possible relaxing weekend in Innsbruck, of course it requires a bit of sense of humor. Day 1 Alte Höttinger Kirche A beautiful church from 13th century. During pandemic time it was closed, but still worth seeing from the outside. Höttinger Bild A small chapel in the woods - perfect place for a walk, it takes about two hours from the city center to get there...
