Wipptal
The Wipptal is a valley extending along the Sill river southward from Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria, where the Sill meets the larger Inn river, up to the Brennerpass (1,374 m) at the Austro-Italian border, one of the lowest passes across the central Alps. South of the border, it continues as Southern Wipptal along the Eisack river (Italian: Isarco) by way of Sterzing-Vipiteno to Franzensfeste-Fortezza in the South Tyrol.
The Brenner Autobahn (motorway) (A13) passes through the valley, beginning with the Europabrücke (Europe bridge) near Innsbruck. It is an important road connection across the Alps, forming part of the connection between Munich and Verona. The inhabitants of the Wipptal have been complaining for years about the volume of traffic.
