Enthroned high above the Salzach Valley between the Tennen- and Hagengebirge ranges, is Hohenberg Fortress, formerly an important strategic fortification. It was actually created in the 11th century and served its masters, the archbishops of Salzburg, both as a military tool and, on occasion, as a residence and hunting lodge. Today, Hohenwerfen Adventure Fortress offers you daily tours that include a visit to a permanent exhibition of historic weaponry.
