"Views from the Fortress" Top 5 Page for this destination Hohensalzburg Fortress Tip by ettiewyn

Even if the Fortress was not such a great sight on its own, I would advise you to come here, if only for the view on Salzburg! Absolutely spectacular!!! It is so beautiful, especially in sunshine, when you see the sun glittering on the towers and cupolas of the churches.

There are three main lookouts: One at the artillery bastions, from where you have a view of the eastern town and the Salzach, one at the foot of the belfry, from where you get the "postcard view" on the old town, the cathedral and so on, and one at the stables from where you have a beautiful view on some of the surrounding mountains. Don't forget to take your camera - and enjoy! :-)

Address: Mönchsberg 34
Directions: Upon Mönchsberg - you can see it from everywhere! The walk starts at St. Peter's Church.
