This week’s #AustrianExplorer edition takes us back to the federal province of Salzburg. About 25 miles south of the city of Salzburg, the Hohenwerfen castle overlooks the town of Werfen, nestled between the Berchtesgaden Alps and the Tennen mountains. Like the Hohensalzburg fortress, the Hohenwerfen castle was built in the 11th century by the bishops of #Salzburg. The castle is reachable by train in about an hour from Salzburg to the town of Werfen.
