\"Innsbruck2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An unexcpected gift for Christmas directed us to Innsbruck in Austria to watch the 3rd ski jumping of the Four Hills Tournament. The Berg Isl, housing the ski jump, is to be seen from many places in the city and during the tournament lots of coaches are bringing fans for the event. The atmosphere in this “cauldron”, especially when Austrian jumpers are coming down, is fantastic. But as fair hosts and spectators the Austrians’re also honouring the performance of all foreign jumpers.
\nBefore and after the tournament the historic center of Innsbruck offers a lot of possibilities for shopping and numerous restaurants offering specialities like Gselchtes (smoked meat),\u00a0 Tiroler Graukaes (gray cheese) and of course the famous Tiroler Speck (gammon). The Goldene Dachl (Golden Roof), a house with a late gothic oriel covered with more than 2.600 golden copper clapboards is one of the mostly visited house in the midst of all the narrow streets. In Herzog-Friedrich-Street, like in the rest of the historic center, you will find many wonderful old houses with arcaded sidewalks and magnificent oriels. Drinking a small or a large Brown (coffee with milk) you may let your eyes wander over the facades and dream of the Dual Monarchy’s pomp and glamour.
