About this audio guide
This guide to the Mariahilf-St. Nikolaus district in Innsbruck opens at the old Inn Bridge, where tolls on timber, salt, and silver built an economy that nobody who actually lived there owned. You will meet the carters, raftsmen, and tanners who served that trade instead of profiting from it, and the blunt nickname their neighbors earned for the mess it left behind. It also asks a harder question about the colorful row of houses every visitor photographs: how old is that famous color, really.
