Castle · Salzburg, Austria

Hohensalzburg Fortress

Never taken in nine hundred years, largely because nobody seriously tried. The funicular up is the oldest still running in the world.

Hohensalzburg Fortress is in Salzburg, and this is Salzburg — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 590 km across and 210 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. Relief from GMTED2010 (USGS) and ETOPO1 (NOAA), public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

ÖBB trains are punctual and the Railjet crosses the country in four hours. All of Austria →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
