About this audio guide
This guide to the Sillschlucht in Innsbruck follows the century-long fight to build a footpath into a gorge the glacier-fed Sill river carved through solid rock. It centers on the local beautification club that spent twenty five years, starting in nineteen oh seven, blasting ledges and bolting footbridges into cliffs the river kept undercutting. You will hear how that stubborn project shaped the boardwalk trail underfoot today, out toward the Dragon Rock viewing platform. Watch your footing on the wet stone near the water.
