Traveler reviews
Wesley Renes
★★★★★a year agoIncredible view! The walk up is also really nice – you pass a few interesting spots along the way, like a beautiful church, and the path through the forest is very pleasant. The view from the top is absolutely worth the hike, offering stunning panoramic views of Salzburg and the Fortress. If you're in the city, this is a must-do experience! Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good walk and breathtaking views.
Klaus Wanderer
★★★★★4 years agoGreat vantage point over Salzburg that can be reached by stairs and it's a rather easy climb provided you stop near the Capuchin church and don't go any further. There is another trail and an upper outlook point that in summer, at least, is not worth it because you can't really see the citadel on account of all the vegetation. The Capuchin church is also worth taking a peek inside, it's not as flamboyant as many other religious sights of the city but it has a nice vibe
