Salzburg Surroundings | Hohenwerfen Castle

The most unforgettable part of this trip to Europe was Hohenwerfen Castle in Austria! This castle, standing on the top of a mountain, has a history of a thousand years, and every brick and stone tells the story of the changes in the Middle Ages. 🏰 When I first saw the castle, I was shocked by its magnificence. As I walked up the winding mountain road, the castle gradually appeared in front of me. The towering walls and ancient towers, set against the blue sky and white clouds, seemed to have come out of a fairy tale. Walking into the castle, I felt as if I had traveled back to the Middle Ages. The well-preserved armor, cold weapons, and the huge banquet hall made me imagine the lively scenes of the nobles holding banquets here in the past. 🌳 The scenery around the castle is also unbelievably beautiful. The mountains are covered with flowers and plants, and the distant Alps are like a beautiful painting. From the viewing platform of the castle, you can take in all the beautiful scenery, and every photo you take is a masterpiece. 🎭 There are often medieval-themed events held here, with actors dressed in gorgeous ancient costumes, performing swordsmanship and dancing, creating a full atmosphere and an immersive experience of medieval life. If you are also interested in history and beautiful scenery, Hohenwerfen Castle is definitely worth a visit! Trust me, every corner here will surprise you.

#tripaway This was our first time staying in the area and we really enjoyed this resort. We were on an Interval timeshare trade which is why we chose this particular place. It's old-fashioned in a good way and everyone was very nice. There is NO nightlife to speak of at the resort or in the area, so don't plan on that. We were exhausted from sightseeing and skiing daily, so it wasn't that big of an issue for us. #tripaway
