Tips from the Community
Hall in Tirol - Old Town One of Tyrol's most beautiful towns awaits those embarking on a journey of discovery to the medieval town of Hall in Tirol. One of the best-preserved old towns, and also the largest in western Austria, it forms a successful symbiosis with modern architectural concepts such as the salt warehouse, the UMIT university, and the Parkhotel. The tasteful buildings of Hall's old town bear witness to its past as a prosperous city: In the Middle Ages, salt production made Hall the most important economic center in North Tyrol. At that time, the town was a crucial transshipment point for trade on the Inn River, and the princely mint, established in Hall in the mid-15th century, contributed significantly to its further economic growth.

The upper part of the Hungerburg Trail is my favorite section in the area. Especially because of the short, drop-in, steep sections with a few rocks and other debris. After all, you want that expensive suspension to actually have something to work with. 😁 About halfway up, it merges into the Arzler Alm Trail. For the penultimate section, 90% of people, including me, prefer to take the Stadtwald Trail for a bit. To do this, you have to climb a few meters along the forest road. You can easily do the uphill two or three times if you're in good shape (i.e., if you're still pedaling). It's better to skip the very last section and go back uphill from there, only to then go all the way to the end.
