Day trip to Salzberg from Altmunster

---

We did a day trip to Salzburg from Altmunster. Visited the Festung Hohensalzburg, one of the largest fortresses in Europe. Enjoyed funicular ride up and down. (It passes the convent where Maria von Trapp was a nun.)
We ate a typical Austrian dinner (deep-fried chicken-- there's more than wiener schnitzel here!) in the Barenwirt restaurant that has been around since 1663! It's asparagus season here, so I had the cream of asparagus soup--delicious. R had cream of garlic soup. When I was here in 1966, we walked to the home of the von Trapp family, where "Sound of Music" had been filmed. Now, there are bus tours to it!And of course, Mozart was born and raised here, so this is a centre for musical events
