Branau
Exploring Salzburger Land

Most of the province lies in the Salzach river basin, at a Straßwalchen
relatively high altitude, offering excellent conditions for both Oberndorf
winter sports and summer mountain walks. Austria’s most Neumarkt
scenic mountain road, the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse Wallersee am Wallersee
(see pp284–5), crosses the southern part of the province. The Seekirchen
region abounds in mineral springs and waterfalls, and boasts Linz
one of the world’s largest caves. Salzburg, an administrative Thalgau
centre, is also the cultural and artistic capital of the province,
the city of Mozart and home of the annual Salzburg Festival. SALZBURG Fuschl
