From here, walk towards the Innsbruck Cathedral (Dom zu St. Jakob). After visiting the cathedral, exit onto Domplatz and continue straight to the next street, which is called Salurnerstraße. Turn left on Salurnerstraße, and then take a right onto Anichstraße. Follow Anichstraße until you reach the intersection with Wilhelm-Greil-Straße.
