Hey guys, while I was walking around in the old city town of Salzburg I decided also to explore the Fortress of its wonderful city! On the picture above in the background you can see the white fortress that is called "Festung Hohensalzbug" and it is
a real eye-catcher high above the baroque towers of the city. You can rent a guide through the fortress, but I decided to explore the fortress without one. There are information boards everywhere and I can decide how long I want to be inside without a timetable.

I went up by feed and passed by a small church with a graveyard next to it

I walked through some grave stones, in the background you can see the fortress a bit closer

The higher you go the more you get the opportunity to see Salzburg from above

It was pretty cold and I felt rain on my skin

It went really colder and I decided to enter a museum inside the fortress..

Back in the days Austria was also involved in war

Grey weather can be beautiful as well

The fortress included a restaurant, too and it is possible to taste Austrian kitchen. I was not that hungry ..

Hallo! Während ich mich in der Salzburger Innenstadt gemütlich umgeschaut habe entschied ich mich auch dazu die Festung Hohensalzburg zu besichtigen. Im Hintergrund auf meinem Bild kann man die Festung Hohensalzburg erkennen. Diese ist ein echter Blickfang, das muss man schon sagen. Hoch über den barocken Türmen der Stadt hat sie seinen Platz gefunden. Je nach Wunsch kann man eine Tour buchen, ich entschied mich jedoch auf eigene Faust das innere zu erkunden. Es befinden sich überall Informationstafeln und ich konnte flexibel meine Zeit je nach Lust und Laune einteilen.

Beim hinaufgehen ging ich an einer Kirche vorbei, ein Friedhof war ebenfalls zu sehen

20160219_151841.jpg
Es ging zwischen einigen Grabsteinen entlang, im Hintergrund kann man die Festung schon näher erkennen

Umso höher man kommt, umso mehr bekommt man die Möglichkeit Salzburg von oben zu bestaunen

Kalt war es... auf der Haut war Nieselregen leicht spürbar

Im inneren konnte man sich aufwärmen und gleichzeitig ein Museum besuchen ..

Österreich war in einigen Kriegen involviert

20160219_155727.jpg
Nachm aufwärmen ging es weiter

20160219_160606.jpg
Eine Kirche war auf dem Gelände zu sehen

20160219_161812.jpg
Graues Wetter kann genauso so schön sein

20160219_162032.jpg
In der Festung selber konnte man je nach Hungerlage dinieren und traditionelle Österreichische Küche geniessen. Leider war ich nicht hungrig ....

Salzburgs Architektur ist wie aus einem Märchen entsprungen

20160219_163809.jpg
Den Ausblick über die nassen Dächern von Salzburg konnte man durchaus geniessen. Soooo Ende, ich ging denselben Weg wieder zurück :)

Gute Nacht alle zusammen! Bis Bald und nen Fetten Drücker - LG Lena <3 <3

That is an interesting graveyard.

why exactly?

It looks like each grave is like a raised flower bed. I don't see that on graves over here.

yes usually grave stones have a little garden in front of the stone
