Just 30 minutes by car or train from the city of Salzburg, the imposing Hohenwerfen Castle rises up, nestled in the breathtaking mountain landscape of the Alps. With its rich history and extraordinary ambiance, it is waiting to be discovered.

Our private tour offers you a rare opportunity to experience Hohenwerfen Castle from a perspective once reserved only for princes. This personalized experience brings you closer to the history of Salzburg and the significance of Hohenwerfen Fortress in a vivid way.
