What To Expect

Fortress Hohenwerfen

Meet your professional local guide and driver at your Salzburg hotel and board your luxury Mercedes-Benz van or Audi A6 for a comfortable journey. Travel through the scenic Salzach River valley to the village of Werfen, where you’ll visit Hohenwerfen Castle—an imposing medieval fortress perched high above the valley. Step inside to explore its historic courtyards, towers, and exhibitions, bringing over 900 years of history to life. Movie fans will also recognize the castle from Where Eagles Dare, starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.
