Hohensalzburg

Hohensalzburg Fortress dominates the skyline of Salzburg. This over 1,000-year-old castle is the city’s most iconic landmark. It sits atop Festungsberg at an altitude of 506 m. It was built by the prince-archbishops of Salzburg.

FestungsBahn

The FestungsBahn is Austria's oldest funicular still in operation. It has transported visitors to the Hohensalzburg Fortress since 1892. It takes just one minute to reach the top.

Hot Chimney Cake

Baumstriezel (hot chimney cake) is the German name for Kürtőskalács, a traditional Hungarian pastry made from sweet yeast dough and coated with cinnamon sugar. Delicious!

We found this Michelin Plate restaurant online. The Michelin Plate was a distinction introduced by the Michelin Guide in 2018. It is awarded to restaurants that serve good quality food. While it does not carry the same level of recognition as Bib Gourmand or Michelin-starred restaurants, it still indicates a quality dining experience. They are now simply known as Michelin Selected.
