Let’s Just Take Care of the Rest of Austria in One Fell Swoop: Salzburg & Innsbruck

Looking out on Salzburg from Festung Hohensalzburg

As I exited Austria, I ventured through Salzburg and Innsbruck.  Both were very beautiful cities, but we'll start with Salzburg. If you've been following my facebook page or read my last post about hiking you would know that I've been following the footsteps of the Von Trapp family... and making some of my own.  If you've been living under a rock or have never encountered anyone who has seen … [Read more...]
