The deck47 restaurant owes its name to its unique location: It lies at 11 degrees longitude and 47 degrees latitude – a geographical coordinate that is also part of its identity. Picturesquely situated on the eastern outskirts of Innsbruck in the Rossau district, the pizzeria nestles like a ship in the harbor of the quarry lake. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the shimmering water and the impressive mountain panorama. I don't want to presume to judge the quality of the restaurant, but numerous online reviews certainly provide some insight.

Bozner Platz with Rudolfsbrunnen, Innsbruck The fountain was erected in 1877 on Bozner Platz to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Tyrol's membership in the Austrian territories (1363-1863). Its design was by Friedrich Schmidt. A larger-than-life bronze statue of Duke Rudolf IV stands atop the fountain's coat of arms.
