Hohensalzburg Fortress Overlooking Salzburg

Perched atop the Festungsberg hill in Salzburg, Austria, this formidable fortress commands an expansive view over the city below as well as the picturesque Salzach Valley. Its white walls contrast beautifully against the lush greenery of the valley floor while snow-capped mountains rise majestically beyond it. A few visitors meander along the courtyard's edge, dwarfed by both the scale of the structure and its commanding presence.
