'''Innsbruck''' is a city in [[Austria]]. It is situated north of the [[Brenner|Brenner-pass]], one of the main south-north crossing traffic axes in the alpsAlps, 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 motorway exits and a complicated system of traffic lanes.
=== Heading West or South ===
There's the service station ''Raststätte Innsbruck-Ampass'' on the highway motorway east of town, in the direction west. However it's before the turnoff going south to Italy, so you'll find most cars going south.
Also, if you want to go west, keep in mind that the first gas station after Innsbruck (''Pettnau'', 25km west of Innsbruck) is on the other side of the highwaymotorway. People going west CAN '''can''' fuel up there, but again you'll find almost only cars going south to Italy.
====How to get there:====
Find a map of the busses buses or ask somebody how to get to ''Baggersee''.
Once there, continue Grabenweg street for 400m north-east, until you reach the Inn river. Turn right and follow the street, not the trail. It'll lead to ''Freizeitzentrum Rossau'', and just before the street ends there's a way off to the left, to the Freizeitzentrum's parking place.
Continue the path to the golf course and find your way into the little forest behind and above it. There's a path in the forest, continue that to the right. At one point after about 200m the path splits, go downhill on the left. There you are on the service station's parking!
=== All directions: South ([[Italy]]), East ([[Salzburg]], [[Vienna]]), North ([[Germany]], [[Munich]]), West ([[Bregenz]]) ===
Go to the shoppingcenter shopping-centre DEZ, Ikea (by bus C (EUR 1,.70 EUR) or walk from the centre in 20 min) - there are two petrol stations and a big parking space, McDonaldsMcD, where you can ask and hitch out in all directions.
If you don't find lifts to the next city try to get lifts to the next biggest motorway service area (Raststätte) outside of Innsbruck:
This a a lonely motorway 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 Buses running towards "EKZ CYTA" a suburban shopping centercentre. You are passing the motorway 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 centre and walk back to the motorway exit, which comes first after the roundabout. * Check [http://www.ivb.at/fileadmin/download/fahrplan/mein-fahrplan/liniennetzplan/ivb_liniennetzplan_schematisch_2008.pdf the schematic map of the local public transport] or [http://www.ivb.at/index.php?id=ivb&L=1 their webpage] also in English for further information. The bus takes you EUR 1.70€ 70 (Summer 2008).
A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!
Just a kilometer kilometre after you enter the motorway, the road splits up - one minor road running north directly to [[Germany]] ([[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]], [[Munich]]) and the motorway continuing to run west - make sure you are in the desired direction!
