Austria, the land of majestic castles and palaces, is rich in historical treasures. Just 30 minutes by car or train from the city of Salzburg stands the imposing Fortress Hohenwerfen, nestled in the breathtaking mountain landscape of the Alps. With its rich history and extraordinary atmosphere, it awaits your discovery.

With our private tour, you’ll have the rare opportunity to experience the Fortress Hohenwerfen from a perspective once reserved exclusively for royalty. This tailor-made experience brings the history of Salzburg and the significance of the Fortress Hohenwerfen to life in a vivid way.

Your exclusive tour begins after an impressive birds-of-prey flight show, where you’ll see these majestic creatures in action. Afterward, your highly trained guide will welcome you at the Lindenwiese. He will lead you along secret paths—including the “Finstere Stiege” (Dark Staircase) and the “Geheimgang” (Secret Passage) of the prince-archbishops—into the interior of the main castle. Together, you’ll discover areas of the castle that are normally hidden from the public.

The crowning finale of your exclusive castle tour is a stylish snack featuring regional specialties, which you’ll enjoy in the castle’s incomparable atmosphere. Vegetarian options and pork-free dishes are also available upon request.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience and immerse yourself in the world of Fortress Hohenwerfen—off the beaten path and in complete privacy.

Note: You must arrive at the lower cable car station approximately 30 minutes before the flight demonstration.
