Salzburg is a very pretty city in a great setting. It has two “mountains” basically within the city. You just walk through a small alcove and you are suddenly climbing a huge number of steps into a mountain forest.

Some parts of the track were better than others.

This looks safe!

The Mirabell Palace gardens were beautiful.

And there were random interesting scenes.

I found some adventures for myself too.

I can see better from here
Beam me up Scotty!

Even their road tunnel entrances are impressive.
