Visiting Alpine Zoo in Innsbruck

We rode the Nordkette Funicular one level down to Alpine Zoo, where we spent a few hours looking at the following birds and mammals:

Mammals
  • Beaver
  • Chamois
  • Elk
  • Otter
  • Wolf
  • Sheep
  • Cow
Birds
  • Common Raven
  • Bearded Vulture
  • Golden Eagle
  • Black Woodpecker
  • Hermit Ibis
  • Snow Grouse
Here is a short video I recorded of a woodpecker:



After finishing touring the zoo, we stopped by for lunch in the Zoo's Cafeteria.  We selected the following:
  • Boris: Espresso, Spaghetti Bolognese
  • Alex: Beef Soup with pancake strips, Spaghetti Bolognese, Hot Tea
  • Inna: Beef Soup with pancake strips, Latte
We enjoyed our lunch and then rode the Norkette funicular back to downtown Innsbruck. We tried to find a coffee shop (but one was very busy), so I went home to rest, while Inna decided to go shopping and Alex wanted to workout at a gym.
