Die Festung Hohensalzburg thront auf dem Festungsberg oberhalb der Salzburger Altstadt. Mit einer L\u00e4nge von 250 Metern und einer Breite von 150 Metern z\u00e4hlt sie zu den gr\u00f6\u00dften mittelalterlichen Burgen Europas. Der Bau begann im Jahr 1077 unter Erzbischof Gebhard. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten bauten die m\u00e4chtigen Salzburger F\u00fcrstbisch\u00f6fe sie mit hohen Mauern, T\u00fcrmen und Bastionen weiter aus und verst\u00e4rkten ihre Verteidigungsanlagen. Die Festung wurde nie gewaltsam eingenommen. Sie ist das Wahrzeichen Salzburgs und von fast \u00fcberall in der Stadt zu sehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was es zu sehen gibt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most beautiful rooms are the Princely Chambers from around 1500. The Golden Hall has a ceiling with gold buttons that look like stars, and the Golden Chamber has richly carved wooden benches and walls. In the Kraut Tower you can see the \u201cSalzburg Bull\u201d, a huge mechanical organ from 1502 with more than 200 pipes. It still plays several times a day from spring to the end of October. The fortress museum tells the story of the castle and its people, and there are also exhibitions about weapons and the Rainer Regiment. Do not miss the Magic Theatre for children and the view from the panorama terrace. From the top you can see the domes of the old town, the Salzach River and the mountains around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anreise und praktische Informationen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way up is the FestungsBahn, a funicular railway that opened in 1892. It starts at Festungsgasse, a few minutes\u2019 walk from Salzburg Cathedral, and takes only about one minute. You can also walk up on a steep path in about 20 minutes. The fortress is open every day: from May to September from 8:30 to 20:00, and the rest of the year from 9:30 to 17:00. Tickets include the funicular ride and are cheaper when you buy them online. Plan two to three hours for your visit. In the evening there are often classical concerts in the fortress halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
