Hiking in and around Innsbruck
There are not many places in the world where the mountains and the city are so close as in Innsbruck. So, it is no wonder that hiking is the most popular sport here! Hiking is much more than just walking around. It is the beauty of the alpine landscape, the diversity of flowers and plants, the fresh and clean mountain air and the green meadows.
