About

At a whopping 155 meters above sea level, with high stone walls dividing mere mortals from the domains belonging to Hohenwerfen Castle. The Salzach River, its winding "body" running between hills and centuries-old trees, guards the fortress against attacks from behind, while the mighty embrasures still vigilantly watch over anyone daring to approach the property of the fort's founder, Gebhard of Salzburg. The artillery embrasures still retain the scent of burnt gunpowder, and the green meadows hidden behind the walls have been used more than once for local police training. Today, Hohenwerfen Castle serves as an active museum, protected by authorities, and it can be accessed either by funicular or by car, with visitors enchanted by the surrounding beauty.

Tolle Burg und tolle Führung, trotzdem ist der Eintrittspreis Recht teuer. Außerdem ist die komplette Anlage nicht mit dem Kinderwagen zu passieren da sehr viele Treppen und verschiedene Etagen, eine Trage/Kraxe ist daher ratsam.
