Hohensalsburg Castle, Salzburg Austria






Salzburg the land of Salt, was such a wonderful trip! It took us a while to get there, but the long voyage was well worth it. We left after work on Friday and hopped on a train which took us to through various Swiss towns until we arrived in Austria. We arrived at our hostel at 4am and a sleepy eyed but friendly receptionist greeted us and gave us towels and keys. Patrick was his name and he would later join us in in our Salzburg adventures and show us some authentic Austrian cuisine.

Our Saturday was a shmorgisboard of activities including walking around the old part of the city, up to a gorgeous Fortress called the Hohensalzburg Castle, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. It was so beautiful and we were able to see the sunset from one of the terraces. Accross from us the Austrian Alps, which were perfect and untouched rose in the distance.
