Engelberg


Engelberg – Liechtenstein – Innsbruck July 21st, Day 8
We passed the Walensee to Liechtenstein, stopping in the capital – Vaduz. Then we crossed the border into Austria and followed the Arlberg route into the Tyrol and Innsbruck. We rode on a vintage cable car that's been chugging up the mountain since 1893. It took us part way up the mountain and then we transferred to a modern aerial cable car that took us the rest of the way to the top. At an altitude of 6,300 feet, we enjoyed the fresh air and views of the surrounding Alps. We stayed in Innsbruck at the- Grauer Bär Hotel.
