Climbed up to the Hohensalzburg, the castle on the cliff which dominated the town of Salzburg and the country for miles around. I say climbed, I got the funicular up, which saved my legs and left some energy for traipsing around the town later.

It was from here that the Prince Archbishops ruled the province of Salzburg, in the name of the Holy Roman Empire, for hundreds of years, just becoming part of the Austrian Empire in 1805.

They certainly had some wonderful views from up here as you can see for miles across the Salzburg basin towards Untersberg mountain.
