Cognac & Lady Fingers, the Austrian literary magazine with the Wow-wow 'factor, I had to present the 30th Output invited to Innsbruck. On Thursday, went 19.11.09,'s going on.
8:08 clock, Duisburg main station is the railway. Even on time. Before I could pull this machine for 50 cents or a chicken soup. But first let me.
almost five hour drive to Munich. Out of sheer boredom I've already eaten my Bütterchen in Frankfurt for the day. After all, we're now no longer backwards, the train has turned as if by magic. Around me nothing but the important people with laptops and mobile phones. Every five minutes, call any ("What?" No, I'm sitting in the ICE! Can you understand all bad ...")
Luckily I also have a beautiful piece of art here. An MP4 player. This is a kind of China-Pod. I can put myself in the ears against the roar of the callers.
In Munich, I have to change to a train of Trenitalia, the outside of a silver fish remembered and to Milano Centrale drives.
After all, Innsbruck is ever on the trip indicator.
Innsbruck The great thing is that it was built on a bridge over the Inn. As the name suggests.
is still great that it is right on Museum Road an Aldi. Why the Albrecht brothers operate here under the pseudonym "Hofer," I do not remains a mystery.
the evening of the first day I visit some of the hotel also has a well-chilled can of Austria's most award-winning beer Starkenberger Tiroler Marzen.
No less than 39 gold medals if we are to believe the manufacturer.
The next morning, bright blue sky, snowy mountain peaks and the realization that not only the German loves the forest of signs. Horse-drawn vehicles on the road are not allowed at all.
A few tourist impressions:
The Golden Roof, Innsbruck's landmark, is easy to find. It is in the old town, where there are all the Japanese. In the same inn's Spaghetti Bolognese for 7.50 €. With a regular spot good butter to grease the points are correct. Lecker's it already.
"tiny giant, giant gnomes, travel through the valley and clamber over the mountains." Go
The Giants from the giant street, I think, relatively rare on the mountain. If only because they are chained.
Austria has always been a transit country. In the late Middle Ages, squeezed the entire movement of southern Europe in the Fugger city of Augsburg between the two houses through. The bus travels to the Hungerburg still up there. Down he comes, however, not more, for the Höttingergasse is a one-way street.
The Imperial Palace. Inside, I was not the half of the rooms is always just restored. Unfortunately I have not met the gardener. Otherwise I would have ever wondered how he manages, with 3 m diameter conifers to grow without having to turn brown.
The Swarovski company has a glamorous store in Innsbruck, next to McDonalds. The silver lady in front is the way real, but it only moves when the little dog is eaten in the basket at her feet by another.
The Triumphal Arch, named after the underwear store, located in the same Street just is. makes it fun to watch the drivers a little bit, not everyone gets the curve at the first attempt. If you ask me they should have built the thing a bit wider.
But ask me yes no.
In Fanshop Wacker Innsbruck I was. Here me a nice young man for 8 € a coffee cup sold. Who knows, maybe that is indeed the foundation for a wonderful collection.
Advent in Innsbruck is beautiful and lasts longer than elsewhere. Everywhere mulled wine, chestnuts and colorful "Packerln.
No Austria-trip without a visit to the Cafe Sacher. I've ordered a Viennese Melange (Little Brown with steamed milk and whipped cream) and an apple strudel. The latter included a half bottle of rum, so nothing for alcoholics. Rather for those who want to be.
And now for the actual purpose of my trip, the presentation of the 30th Issue of Cognac & Lady Fingers at the Municipal Kindergarten St. Nikolaus. 14 authors read texts on the subject of "Childhood" in some unusual places.
I was meant for the space at the top of the wall bars. Luckily it was not as shaky as it looks here.
A great, great evening organized entirely sympathetic with many people and many Wow-wow effects!
who lives in Innsbruck, should read the next Co & Bi- attend presentations, and who is not living there, should in any case even go there. Innsbruck is worth a visit.
