I cannot list a favorite thing that I did over my holiday, aside, of course, from being able to see my mom and brother. But here is one highlight.
Christmas evening we walked up the hill to the Festung Hohensalzurg, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. Unfortunately we allowed ourselves just an hour to explore before having to go to dinner. The fortress was quite amazing including a small church, market square, stables...all the workings of a small town.
A night view overlooking the Salzburg Altstadt (old city) and the Salzach River.
In addition to walking around and seeing each of the buildings in the fortress there was a wonderful small, and free, marionette museum.
The Christmas evening was topped off with an amazing dinner in a 300 year old hall followed by a chamber concert. Not too shabby when I look back on it.
