Description

The tour starts at the Marienbrunnen fountain on Lower Town Square. The route leads through the city gate to Fischergries, continues along the Inn River and over the Inn Bridge to the train station. It then returns to Römerhofgasse below the fortress hill. The Inn promenade circles the fortress hill and finally returns to Lower Town Square.

Three additional stops lead to historic sites far from the centre and offer breathtaking views of the fortress town. These stops can be explored individually or as a supplement to the historic city trail in the city centre.
