Austria - Day 4 - Alps and More

 Day four, Final Day in Austria
So we set off east from the Hotel
We got to see nice churches and Alps
Yes lots of Alps
Lots of Alps
we stopped at Grossenhof Fischbach
And saw more Alps
We wanted to get to Hohenwerfen Castle
This is one of the Major Castles on the Salzach River
The views from the castle showed the terrain of the Alps
and the River below.
The castle was quite impressive
It had a De Vinci Exhibit
That displayed his inventions and drawings on Flight
But it was the views from this place that was impressive
No one could have sneaked passed this castle
although it did have some steep steps.
After this, we continued back to Salzburg and saw COWS. 
These are normally kept inside for 10 months of the year
We finally made it back to Hellburner
This was the summer playground for one of the Austrian Kings
with it trick water gardens.
like at wet seats in the Picnic table
or the Dance floor that would flood
it had very nice statues
and large fish in the ponds.
Water grotto's
Fountains that would appear from nowhere
water powered models of towns.
small water falls that would suddenly shot water out of them.
Water display that had to be seen in the dark.
(sorry No photo inside)
 Inside the manor were tributes to Mozart
 and beautiful ceils and walls.
The only furniture in the place was for you to sit on to admire the surrounding.
OH, and in the gardens was the Gazabo again.
This time no tourists crowds.
Back in Salzburg. We setoff Exploring again
in Oldtown below the Castle
 passed the "Do Ray Me" bridge
Building with tunnels built into them.
But it was the back streets that we enjoyed most.
 We made it back to the Hotel when it was still light
 This was a wonderful Hotel and
What a view it had of the Alps.
