'''Innsbruck''' is a city in [[Austria]]. Innbruck It is situated north of the [[Brenner|Brenner-pass]], one of the main south-north crossing traffic axes in the alps, squeezed in the Inn River valley which dictates the directions of the traffic ways.
Due to the lack of space in the Inn River valley, Innsbruck offers 5 different highway exits and a complicated system of traffic lanes.

So here is my preferred spotone:
====Highway exit Innsbruck Kranebitten. ====
This a a lonely highway exit in the very west of Innsbruck with a free Space just in the middle of the different lanes joining together in the direction of Bregenz and Germany. It is not a nice spot but it works!
=====Getting there by bus: =====
Take line T of the IVB Busses running towards "EKZ CYTA" a suburban shopping center. You are passing the highway exit by bus just after crossing the Inn River bridge. Get of the Bus at EKZ Cyta, get all you need at the shopping center and walk back to the highway exit, which comes first after the roundabout.
