region of Germany and Austria. Across my seat, a septuagenarian gave me some company as he
conversed between his catnaps. A resident of Berlin, he was on his way to a village close to
Innsbruck to retrieve his broken-down campervan.
By the time the train chugged into Innsbruck, the overcast skies indicated a wet day ahead. I
checked into Nala, a quirky boutique hotel in the Wilten district, before meeting my guide
