Burg Hohenwerfen
Burg Hohenwerfen is a striking medieval castle perched on a forested ridge above the Salzach Valley, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Austrian Alps. Located near the town of Werfen, the fortress dates back to the 11th century and features stone towers, fortified walls, and dramatic views that make it a dream location for landscape and architectural photography. The castle is especially photogenic from below, where its imposing silhouette rises above the trees with alpine peaks in the background, and from within, where courtyards and stone details add historic texture. Accessible by foot or funicular, the site also hosts seasonal falconry shows and guided tours. (Werfen, Salzburg, Austria)
