Innsbruck (1880 ft.), the capital of Tyrol, with 45,000 inhab.
(including the suburbs), is charmingly situated on the Inn, not far
from the influx of the Sill, and next to Salzburg is the most pictur-
esque town among the German Alps. In every direction, particularly
towards the N., the eye is met by striking groups of bold and fissured
limestone mountains (Brandjoch, Frauhitt, Hafelekar), towering
above the cultivated slopes of the valley; while towards the S., above
the wooded Berg Isel, rise the noble outlines of the Waldraster-
Spitze and Saile-Spitze. To the S.E., nearer the foreground, above
the Lanser KÖpfe, peeps the rounded summit of the Patscher Kofel.
