Fortress Hohensalzburg Mini-Saga

Fortress Hohensalzburg is a beautiful and perhaps intimidating edifice looming over the city of Salzburg. Discuss its importance to this city and your own impressions both as you saw it from almost anywhere walking in the city, and as you toured the fortress.

Beautiful places with daunting atmospheres.

How is Fortress Hohensalzburg able to have such a rugged outside but delicate inside?

Built to intimidate and scare away rivals, but also regarded as home to many people throughout history.

Signifies not only resilience after WWII, but a reminder of Austrian strength and fortitude.
