Hohenwerfen Castle in Werfen

Helpful facts

Hohenwerfen Castle, which is more than 900 years old, is enthroned on the steep rock cone high above the Salzach Valley. During a visit to the medieval walls, you will not only learn interesting facts about life in earlier times, but you can also watch the impressive bird of prey show at the historic Landesfalkenhof.
