Hohenwerfen Fortress & Falconry: A Private Journey into Medieval History
Perched high on a 155-meter rock, Hohenwerfen Castle is a breathtaking 900-year-old bastion that has guarded the Salzach Valley for centuries. This formidable alpine stronghold is famous worldwide not only for its dramatic history but also as the cinematic backdrop for the Hollywood classic "Where Eagles Dare," starring Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton.
On this exclusive day trip from Salzburg, you will travel in the comfort of a premium Mercedes-Benz V-Class minivan, tailored entirely to your pace. Inside the fortress, you will explore ancient halls, mysterious dungeons, historical weapons armories, and winding towers that offer panoramic views of the surrounding alpine peaks.
A major highlight of the tour is the spectacular Falconry Demonstration. Held twice daily, the traditional flight show lets you witness majestic birds of prey soaring freely against the stunning backdrop of the Austrian Alps.
