TI-IIJ I-NTRANCE: to JiGGEN-TAL, THROUGH THl^ OLD FORTIFIED GATe;wAY OF KARDAUN 



A mile and a half toward Innsbruck from Bozen is Kardaun, with its picturesque 

 entrance to the beautiful, ravine-like valley, the Eggen-Tal. This little valley is watered by 

 the Karneider Bach, famous for its silvery waterfall. Walking is the great_ outdoor pastime 

 and during the season one sees every kind and color of pedestrian trudging along, happy 

 and care free, drinking in the splendid mountain air, which rivals the famed "Fountain of 

 Youth" of De Soto.
