On my rail trips through Austria, I often change the train in Bischofshofen. That’s a railway station in the middle of the mountains of the Austrian state of Salzburg. The mountain range in the background is named Tennengebirge.

Linzertor Mural in Salzburg
The Linzergasse is, after the Getreidegasse, the second most famous shopping street in Salzburg. In the past, several gates secured this access lane. Today, the Linzertor Mural reminds pedestrians of one of these gates named Linzertor.

It is considered one of the best-preserved fortresses in Europe: Hohensalzburg Fortress. It thrones high above the streets of Salzburg. In the city itself, the two steeples of Salzburg Cathedral and the magnificent dome of the University Church rise above the roofs of Salzburg.
