History & character
From Forest Landscape to Summer Retreat
Hungerburg, also known as Hoch-Innsbruck, is situated on a plateau at the foot of the Nordkette and was a closed forest area until around 1840. The name Hungerburg originated from a nickname related to a snack station established by Joseph Andreas von Attlmayr in 1840. From 1906 onward, Hungerburg developed into a terraced settlement, while the Innsbruck tourism pioneer Sebastian Kandler attempted to promote the area as a summer retreat around 1900. The first Hungerburgbahn was built in 1905/06, followed by the Nordkettenbahn in the late 1920s, which facilitated access to the surrounding mountains. The opening of Hungerburgsee in 1912 as a bathing lake and recreational area marked another step in the district's development, which was incorporated into Innsbruck in 1938. Today, Hungerburg is an independent district characterized by a mix of residential areas and tourist offerings, shaped by its impressive location and good access to the surrounding mountains.

Access · travel time
Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Innsbruck. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. In the Inn valley the winter sun reaches only 19 degrees at midday, while the mountain ridges to the south rise 10 to 19 degrees above the city. Measured for 21 December, the terrain costs just under two hours in Hötting, a good two in the city centre, close to three at Sieglanger and six and a half in Amras below the Patscherkofel.
