Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[govner1]

No. You’re almost due west by 80+miles

 

[govner1]

Nope. Here’s a hint- check the Kocher River valley

 

[beermanpete]

Mannheim?

 

[govner1]

Nope. Still too far west. Look at the hint

 

[troutman]

Rothenbürg?

 

[govner1]

Nope. If you mean Rothenburg you’re 40ish miles NNE, if you mean Rothenberg you’re 70 miles NW.

 

[drchris83]

Schwäbisch Hall?

 

[Pkrd]

Heidelberg?

 

[govner1]

@drchris83- correct! You’re turn

 

[drchris83]

 

[arturo7]

Great pic!

No idea of where...

 

[govner1]

Coburg

 

[drchris83]

Not Coburg.

 

[govner1]

Linz

 

[applescrap]

Zurich

 

[AZCoolerBrewer]

Just looks like where Messner would have grown up. Villnöß. Probably too populous for there though, and the mountains in the background aren’t rugged enough.

 

[homebrewer_99]

St. Johann in Tirol?

 

[drchris83]

Tirol is right. Actually, there are two towns visible in this picture, but they‘re so close together they appear as one.

 

[homebrewer_99]

FWIW, I've been to St. Johann. Nice place.

Tirol, but not SJ?

I remember an Australian owned bar there where they posted a NO KANGAROO ZONE sign.

 

[drchris83]

Not St. Johann, sorry.

If that helps any: I took this picture from a hospital roof terrace while on lunch break.

 

[homebrewer_99]

Looks too small for Innsbruck (been there), so I'm going with Kitzbuhel.

FWIW, I went on a week long ski trip to Brixen-Bressanone in Sud Tirol back in 1977 and stayed in Antholz, Sud Tirol near the Olympic Bi-athalon Training site in 2001.

 

[govner1]

Waiting on @homebrewer99

 

[drchris83]

Not Kitz. Move farther west.

 

[govner1]

Zillertal

 

[drchris83]

Still farther west.

 

[govner1]

Schwaz or Hall

 

[homebrewer_99]

So many small towns...Reutte? Vils?

 

[drchris83]

Getting closer. Keep trying a little farther west.

 

[govner1]

Pill? Nice choice if you are a doctor!

 

[drchris83]

Funny! Not Pill though.

 

[govner1]

Weerburg or Wattens

 

[homebrewer_99]

Getting closer. Keep trying a little farther west.

I was in Lindau in 1977. There are still a hundred small towns to choose. I think you're trying to pull a funny (joke = YOLK) so I'll go with EGG.

 

[drchris83]

Still not there.

 

[homebrewer_99]

I quit. But I'm curious about how you ended up in the hospital...skiing accident?

I had a mountain climbing accident near Mittenwald. I was free climbing a wall and my handhold...didn't hold. The rock came right out of the wall and I dropped about 60 ft. I didn't break a thing, just all sprains for a couple of days. Adrenaline came to the rescue that day. I stayed a day or so at the American hospital in Garmisch.

 

[govner1]

Zam? or Hochzirl

 

[drchris83]

@govner1 you got it. Zams (and the adjecent municipality of Landeck) are the visible towns.

As to how I ended up in the hospital there: I attended a workshop about laparoscopic hernia repair, so business.

 

[homebrewer_99]

OK...Doc.

 

[govner1]

Here you go

 

[homebrewer_99]

Let's narrow it down a bit...tropical plants, wine barrels, Europe = Spain or Italy.

 

[govner1]

Europe is correct but not Spain nor Italy
