Concierge "The stony facade is forbidding... but all the butch posturing is offset by the unexpected opulence of the state rooms and the ethereal views."
Frommer's "Visit Hohensalzburg, even if you're not interested in the fortress, for the view from the terrace. From the Reck watchtower, you get a panoramic sweep of the Alps." Full review
Frommer's "Gazing down from this fortress's rocky dolomite ledge toward the Salzach River below, you could definitely see an enemy approaching." Full review
