Cafe Moccador Kufstein, Austria

During our travels through Austria in July 2016 we made a daytrip to Kufstein and had lunch at Café Moccador at the Inntal Center.

 

It made a good impression with an outdoor terrace, plants and a winter garden inside with classic design and was frequented by locals and tourists of all age groups alike.

 

We chose a seat outside, since the weather was gorgeous.

 

Staff was overall attentive, but did get our main courses wrong at first. They were also charming and customer oriented, because they exchanged the dishes without quibble, apologized and brought the right ones around ten minutes later with a smile.

 

We ordered one apple schorle (apple juice and water mixed), one Gasteiner Elements Alpenglow cranberry juice drink, two Kaesespaetzle, one small side salad and one Hot Love ice cream sundae.

 

The meal was of good quality, generously sized and the flavors excellent. Value was also good at 29.20 Euro (ca. 31.35 USD).

 

We would return for another tasty lunch/dinner in our future, when visiting Kufstein.

The Fortress Kufstein, Austria

During our stay in Innsbruck, Austria in July 2016 my fiancé and I made a day trip to Kufstein and visited the fortress.

Entrance was 11.50 Euro (ca. 12.25 USD) per person, which we bought at the fortress.

The fortress towers over the city and is visible from afar.

When we arrived it wasn't very busy. You can either walk or use the Panorama Cable Car. Should there be a waiting time to use the cable car, visitors can rest on one of the many benches. The cable car can take up to 4 people and is self-service operated. At first we thought it is going automatically, but soon realised we had to press a button to make it work.

We arrived at the Castle Rotunda and climbed up the staircase to have magnificent views over the city, the river Inn and the landscape.

The first mentioning of the fortress is in the 13th century. It changed hands between Austria and Bavaria frequently.

It was nice to explore the areas accessible inside the fortress and see, for example the prison cells or the torture chamber.

There was also a restaurant with outdoor seating. We didn't try it, but it made a good impression on both of us.

Sometimes there are also medieval banquets with music from the period available at this location.

We would recommend to visit the fortress when in Kufstein, Austria and spend a few hours there.
