SALZBURG & HELLBRUNN

Our sightseeing tour takes us first to the Church of the Holy Trinity where Mozart once played the organ, then continues to the Getreidegasse to visit his birth house. We then visit Hellbrunn Palace whose Trick Fountains have been amazing visitors for more than 400 years, spraying them with water as they stroll by.

HOHENWERFEN

Today we visit Hohewerfen Fortress, one of the most beautiful castles in Austria, sitting on a steep peak above the Salzach valley. One of the highlights here is the impressive birds of prey show giving an insight into the century-old art of falconry. We then visit the World of Ice Giants, the largest ice caves in the world, they are an underground world of natural ice sculptures and formations. (B,D)
