AUSTRIA ~ Nordkette Mountain Range - Innsbruck ~

... Spectacular mountain view⛰️... the city’s natural skyscrapers... the Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen have been connecting Innsbruck with the majestic mountains since 1928... the cable car "Hungerburgbahn" which is the main attraction of the city takes visitors in a few minutes from the city center to Hungerburg area at the foot of the Nordkette mountains... from there the journey continues with the cable car all the way up to the Seegrube at 1,905m... a popular destination for hikers, mountainbikers, rock climbers and day-trippers...  those who want to head even higher can take the Hafelekar cable car all the way up to 2,556m... at the top of the Nordkette mountains, visitors can look forward to breathtaking views of Innsbruck and the Alpenpark Karwendel, Austria's largest nature park... Thanks Dustin!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
