Salzburg Castle

I’d been looking at the castle up on top of the hill rising above Salzburg for the last few days. The motivation to climb up there had eluded me, but was now suddenly starting to kick in. Yes, we could get a cable car up to the top, but decided not to (too expensive). And the walk up the graduated path wasn’t too bad, especially when taking pics & having a bit of fun along the way.
Bec & I decided to ‘compete’ to see who could take the most arty photos, so we spent quite a bit of time getting the best angles on all the fabulous architecture surrounding us. Inside, there were rooms outlining the history of Salzburg. I most liked the story of the priests having secret passageways to the township so they could pursued their secret sexual liaisons – go boys! There was even a fully preserved medieval loo!!
The view from the tops looking out over the alps was spectacular, especially with the sun dropping down behind the mountains. We stopped & had some tea & soup in one of the cafes that offered a panoramic view – nice.
