September 17 - Train Ride to Salzburg

​Today’s adventure took us on a train ride into Salzburg among the Alps.We were able to walk to the train from our condo. Then 20 minutes later we were in Salzburg.  

Another full day walking in Old Town, touring the Hohensalzburg castle, Mirabell Gardens, Mozart’s home, and BierGartens.

Once in Salzburg, we walked along the different shops and restaurants. Narrow streets, but cars still ran on them.

Another funicular to the tour the large castle, Fortress HohenSalzburg. This is central Europe’s largest, completely renovated Fortress, dating from the 11th Century.

From the top of the castle, the views of Salzburg were 


Lunch outside of the castle was a treat. Dessert was fun, a Salzberg Nockerl and apple strudel.


Look at Carl’s lunch Salmon and potatoes supreme came wrapped in foil looking like a swan.

We then toured Mozart’s birthplace to see documents, pictures, and original instruments from the family. 

A walk to The Augustiner Bräu Mülln - beer garden. 

The last stop of the day was a walk through the Mirabell Gardens where Maria and the children danced around the fountain in the Sound of Music.
