Gleirsch-Halltal Chain

The Hinterautal-Vomper Chain (German: Hinterautal-Vomper-Kette), also called the main chain of the Karwendel (Karwendelhauptkette), is the longest mountain chain in the Karwendel Alps in Austria. It has numerous peaks that reach heights of 2,500 m, including the highest summit of the Karwendel, the Birkkarspitze (2,749 m (AA)), and its neighbour, the three Ödkarspitzen. While long ridges radiate south and north from the western part of the main chain, with typical Karwendel cirques nestling between them, the eastern part of the chain has an almost 1,000 m high, solid rock face on the northern side, which is most striking at the Laliderer Wand. The main chain is divided into the Hinterautal ("Hinterau Valley") chain (Hinterautalkette) in the west and the Vomper Chain (Vomperkette) in the east and runs through the Karwendel Alps from Scharnitz in the west to the village of Vomp in the east. North of the Hinterautal-Vomper Chain is the Northern Karwendel Chain (Nördliche Karwendelkette), to the south follows the Gleirsch-Halltal Chain, large parts of which have steep, northern slopes, often vertical and hundreds of metres high which are typical of the four Karwendel mountain chains. Along the western part of the Hinterautal-Vomper Chain runs a difficult, high alpine mountain path which is called the Toni Gaugg Mountain Path (Toni-Gaugg-Höhenweg) after the man who blazed it. This enables the Hinterautal chain to be traversed from the Pleisen Hut to the Karwendelhaus. In the Northern Limestone Alps, to which the Karwendel belongs, there are a number of small and very small glaciers. In the Hinterautal-Vomper Chain is the only glacier of the Karwendel, the Eiskarln, north of and below the Eiskarlspitze.

The Hafelekarspitze is a mountain in the so-called North Chain (Nordkette) north of Innsbruck in Austria.

Rum is a market town (since 1987) located in the Austrian state of Tyrol on the eastern border of Innsbruck in the administrative district of Innsbruck-Land. Since World War II, because of proximity to Innsbruck and development of an industrial area in Neu-Rum (New Rum), which abuts the Olympic Village district of the city, its population has greatly increased and it has become one of the richest municipalities in the state. The Hoch-Rum (Upper Rum) neighbourhood above the old centre of the town was an earlier development and includes a private clinic. Today Rum is functionally part of Innsbruck, sharing its municipal services and transportation network, but efforts to incorporate it into the city have so far been unsuccessful.

Thaur is a municipality in the district of Innsbruck-Land in the Austrian state of Tyrol located 5 km east of Innsbruck between Rum, Austria and Hall in Tirol. Settlement of the area probably began around 1000 BC but the location was mentioned as “Taurane” for the first time in 827. Thaur is very religious even nowadays.

The Hinterau valley (Rear Meadow Valley, German: Hinterautal) is a valley crossing the Karwendel range from east to west. The Isar has its official source in the Hinterau valley. The valley stretches from its western end at Scharnitz to its upper eastern end called Rossloch over 14 km from west to east. Starting from Scharnitz the mountain ranges of the Northern Karwendel range and the Hinterautal-Vomp chain limit the valley to the north, just interrupted by the Karwendel valley. To the south the Gleisch-Hall chain limits the valley. From the western side the valley first is deeply cut into by the waters of river Isar, after that part the valley follows more smoothly to the source of river Isar. After that the valley ends at an alpine bowl called Rossloch.

The Mühlauer Bach is a river of Tyrol, Austria. It is a left-side tributary of the Inn. The Mühlauer Bach originates at an elevation of 1,138 m (AA) on the Arzler Reise, the cirque below the Arzler Scharte. It flows in southern direction through Mühlau, a district of Innsbruck, where it discharges into the Inn. Next to the Inn, the Mühlauer Bach is the richest flowing waters of the city. It has a length of just under 3 km (1.9 mi). With the exception of the source, it lies in full in the Innsbruck city area.

Hungerburg is a district of Innsbruck, Austria. It has a population of 1,005 (as of 2014). It is connected with the city center through a hybrid funicular railway, the Hungerburgbahn, and from Hungerburg the Nordkette Cable Car continues in 2 sections up the mountain, to Seegrube and then to Hafelekar.

The Sill is a 43-kilometre-long (27 mi) river in Tyrol, Austria. It is one of the larger tributaries of the Inn in Tyrol. It flows north through the Wipptal to Innsbruck. Its source lies east of the Brenner Pass. At the Sillzwickel - the name of the point where it meets the Inn at Innsbruck - there is a recreation area with cycling trails. The Viggarbach merges with it in Schönberg im Stubaital. The natural river basin is 853 km2 (329 sq mi); 31.6 km2 (12.2 sq mi) are covered by glacier ice. The water power generated by the river flow is used for three power plants. Waterfalls on the river include the Sill Fall, which has a height of about 4 metres (13 ft), and from where water is taken out for urban use. In the fall basin, fishes such as trouts can be found. The Bretterkeller waterfall is located at the bottom of the Paschberg in Innsbruck. The Sill features prominently in the stories Amras and Der Wetterfleck by the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard.

The Hungerburgbahn is a hybrid funicular railway in Innsbruck, Austria, connecting the city district of Hungerburg with the city centre. The current line opened on 1 December 2007, replacing a previous alignment that operated from 1906 to 2005. The new Hungerburgbahn is one of the landmarks of the city, with stations designed by Zaha Hadid, and built by Leitner AG.

The Tuffbach, also known locally as the Weissbach, is a river of Tyrol, Austria, a tributary of the Inn. The Tuffbach originates in the Lepsius-Stollen (a gallery at the abandoned quarry in Hötting, Innsbruck) at 720 m (AA). It runs in a southerly direction past the Engländergrab to the Hoher Weg where it merges near the old Hungerburg railway bridge with the Inn. The Tuffbach lies entirely within the municipal territory of Innsbruck. Although the river is only 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) long, it has an interesting feature: At one point its waters drop through a height of 12 metres (39 ft) forming the Weissbach Fall, which is audible and visible from the nearby street. A small hotel has built a power plant there and uses the electricity generated for domestic requirements. Around the basin are canals, which divert the water in case of emergency. Another feature is the high water speed near the mouth (~120 km/h (75 mph)). The water is usually of grade B quality.
