Innsbruck Airport (IATA: INN, ICAO: LOWI), also known locally as Kranebitten Airport, is the largest international airport in Tyrol in western Austria. It is located approximately 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 mi) from the centre of Innsbruck. The airport, which was opened in 1925, handles regional flights around the Alps, as well as seasonal international traffic to further European destinations. During the winter, activity increases significantly, due to the high number of skiers travelling to the region.

Botanical Garden of the University of Innsbruck
Botanical Garden of the University of Innsbruck

The Botanical Garden of the University of Innsbruck (German: Botanischer Garten der Universität Innsbruck) is a 2-hectare botanical garden operated by the University of Innsbruck. It is located in Hötting at Sternwartestraße 15, Innsbruck, Austria. The gardens are open at no cost every day; its greenhouses are open on Thursday afternoons for an admission fee. The garden was established around 1911, replacing an earlier garden elsewhere. It was redesigned between 1948 and 1965, and its alpine rock garden was revised 1987–1990 on modern systemic principles. Its first greenhouse was constructed in 1909, with three additional greenhouses added 1977–1979, a succulent house in 1993, and a sixth greenhouse for container plants built in 1997. Today the garden contains more than 5000 species organized within the following major sections: Alpinum (more than 2000 m2) - a major alpine garden, divided geographically and geologically, containing more than 1000 plants from all, non tropical, alpine regions of the world. Includes an area for ferns, a moor, and four ponds. Arboretum - woody plants including Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, and perennial plants. Cactus houses (330 m2) - about 500 cactus species. Cactus-Succulent-Mediterranean House (280 m2) - primarily plants from the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands, the colder regions of Australia and New Zealand, as well as African succulent plants and American cacti. Fern house (70 m2) - epiphytes, climbing ferns, and water ferns. Fragrance and touch garden (built 1999) - the first in Austria, all plants labeled in Braille. Medicinal, poisonous, and spice plants - more than 300 plants ordered by their effective substances (alkaloids, glycocholic acid, tannins, ethereal oils, vitamins, etc. Orchid house Succulent house - over 550 succulent plants, mainly from South Africa, the Canary Islands, and South America. Systematic garden (1000 m2, rebuilt 1993) Tropical greenhouse (287 m2, height above 12 m2) - flowering and useful tropical plants.

Nordkette
Nordkette

The Nordkette, also variously called the North Chain, Northern Range, rarely the Inn Valley Range or Inn Valley Chain (Inntalkette), is a range of mountains just north of the city of Innsbruck in Austria. It is the southernmost of the four great mountain chains in the Karwendel. To the west it is linked by the Erl Saddle to the Erlspitze Group, to the east via the Stempeljoch saddle (2,215 m (AA)) to the Gleirsch-Halltal Range. To the south it is bounded by the Inn valley. Its highest summit is the Kleiner Solstein (2,637 m (AA)) in the west of the range. The Nordkette is served by the Nordkette Cable Car, which offers easy access to the ski area and the Innsbruck Klettersteig. The latter starts in the east, near Hafelekar station (2,269 m (AA)) on the Nordkette Cable Car, and runs via the Seegrubenspitze, the Kemacher and the Langen Sattel to Frau Hitt and the Frau Hitt Saddle in the west. In addition, the Goethe Way (Goetheweg) runs from Hafelekar Station along the arête eastwards to the Pfeis Hut north of the Rumer Spitze. Below the Hungerburg - Seegrube section of the Nordkette Cableway runs the Nordkette Singletrail, one of the most challenging routes in Europe for freeride mountain bikers. The following Alpine Club huts in the area of the Nordkette offer climbers bases for multi-day tours taking in numerous summits: the Solsteinhaus, the Neue Magdeburger Hut, the Pfeis Hut and the Bettelwurf Hut (in the Gleirsch-Halltal Range). In the southwest, there is a small massif in front of the Nordkette, the Hechenberg, which reaches a height of 1,943 m (AA) at the Kirchbergköpfl and which is separated from the Nordkette to the northeast and east by the Kranebitter Klamm.
