its numerous buildings with tromp l'oeil (lueftlmalerei) painted
façades. our next stop is the glorious rococo church in

lunch at Schlosshotel lisl or Villa Jägerhaus. Afterwards, you

famous for its special grilled sausages, so called ‘nürnberger
Rostbratwürste’, which you have to try before you have time
on your own to visit the ‘Christkindlesmarkt’ – probably the
most famous Christmas market of the world. on the way back

ride with a cog railway up to the Fortress Hohensalzburg.
From this spot you will have a beautiful view over Salzburg and
the surrounding mountain scenery. If the weather conditiones
should not allow this activity, we will visit the inside of the
Mozarthaus. You will have enough time to spend on your own,
just strolling around, visiting the lovely Christmas market and,

famous sweets made in Salzburg, Mozartkugeln. In the late
