Salzburg Fortress Railway...

Austria's oldest funicular railway runs every ten minutes to the Hohensalzburg Fortress and has been in operation since 1892.

1.7 million passengers a year enjoy the ride on the fortress railway and look through the large panoramic window at the city of Salzburg during the 54-second journey. In those days the FestungsBahn was still operated by water power, but today it is a modern railway system offering the best in comfort and safety.

Forecast

Areas of low pressure keep passing over Central Europe from the northwest. Between these lows, there is only little space for ridges of high pressure. Thanks to just such a ridge of high pressure, our weather will temporarily calm down on Saturday. The morning will be very cloudy with a few snow flakes falling, but by the afternoon, the sky will brighten up. However cloudy patches will remain.
