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.

Elevation↑ 48 m · ↓ 334 m · 573–860 m

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.

Who this walk is for

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.

Good to know

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.

The stops

HungerburgStart
The terrace above the city, 287 metres higher than the Inn. The brightest place in Innsbruck in our sun calculation, and in winter the only district where the midday sun reliably arrives.
≈17 min to the centre
1
Weiherburggasse
The lane swings along the slope in long curves, past the houses that stand up here. It is the only road link between the Hungerburg and the zoo, and anyone living here knows every one of its bends.
≈12 min to the centreright by the water
2
Alpine zoo
Europe’s highest zoo clings to the slope, right beside the little Weiherburg castle. From here the view over the city becomes a constant companion, and in December the sun still stands above the ridge.
3
St Nicholas church
The old fishermen’s and craftsmen’s quarter on the right bank, densely built and open to the south. Our measurement sees 82 out of 100 here: noticeably less than up top, but far more than across the river in the old town.
≈7 min to the centrelively
4
Old Inn bridge
The bridge that gave the city its name. On the far side the old town begins, at 56 out of 100: the same river, the same city, half the winter sun of the starting point.
≈2 min to the centre
