From the Hungerburg down to the Inn: the sunny slope
What does an address in the valley cost you in sunlight, and what does the slope buy?
No other walk shows so plainly why altitude counts in Innsbruck. Above, the Hungerburg, a sun balcony over the city; below, the old town on the Inn, which in December lies for hours in the shadow of the Nordkette and the mountains to the south. In between, the old path past the Weiherburg and the alpine zoo, down through slopes still called vineyards here, into St. Nikolaus. We calculate the hours of sunlight per location with the mountains included: the Hungerburg scores 100 out of 100, the city centre 56.
Getting there: J, N7 to Innsbruck Theresienkirche, 143 m to the start. Way back from Innsbruck Marktplatz (J, K, A, N7, N8), 164 m.
The route and its data
The coloured line is the walk, routed on the real pedestrian network. Toggle a data layer, or tap anywhere on the map to see trees, noise, heat and travel times for that exact spot.
Tap the numbered stops for what makes each spot special, or tap anywhere for the full “what’s here?”.
Every 100 metres of the route, classified from the real data: green spaces, the official noise map, footfall.
About 48 m of climbing and 334 m of descent, between 573 and 860 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data.
For anyone torn between a slope address and the centre. The walk makes the difference physical: just under an hour and 334 metres of descent. Anyone living up there does not do this on foot every day but takes the funicular, and that is exactly where the price of the sunshine lies.
The route is meant as a descent, and that matters: 334 metres down is comfortable, the same distance up is not. Living up here means depending on the funicular, and it does not run around the clock. Downhill is easy; uphill, the timetable decides.
What changes along the way
Every 100 metres of the walk, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The bars run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: 54% of the way feels green · 93% quiet · very well connected.
Values are 0 to 100 per 250 m cell. Parks and water have no residential cell of their own, so those stretches read the nearest neighbourhood. Source: Innsbruck tree register, heat model from surface sealing, environmental noise map, footfall and own transit routing.
