In the middle of Innsbruck's old town, behind the Hofburg, there is a little mystery: the whispering arch. At first glance, it looks like a completely normal archway made of stone, of which there are many in Innsbruck's old town. But this arch, this entrance to Hofgasse 12, is different from all the others. Archduke Sigmund had this archway provided with two mysterious channels in the stone in 1490. You can whisper something through these from one side to the other. Secrets, wishes or messages of love, a lot has been entrusted to the bow. It is said that all wishes that are whispered into the arch are going to be fulfilled. So if you have a wish - be sure to try it out!
