    The Hohensalzburg Fortress is a real eye-catcher high above the baroque towers of the city. As a landmark that can be seen from far away, the castle is an unmistakable part of Salzburg's world-famous skyline. It appears mighty to visitors from afar, but history can be experienced up close behind its thick walls.

      From so close up you can see what a huge block this fortress is. It's crazy how it was built on the rock.

        By train to the castle. Wonderful Christmas market at the castle.
