Meet your professional local guide and driver at your Salzburg hotel and board your luxury Mercedes-Benz van or Audi A6 for a comfortable journey. Travel through the scenic Salzach River valley to the village of Werfen, where you’ll visit Hohenwerfen Castle—an imposing medieval fortress perched high above the valley. Step inside to explore its historic courtyards, towers, and exhibitions, bringing over 900 years of history to life. Movie fans will also recognize the castle from Where Eagles Dare, starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.

Werfen is not only home to its medieval fortress but also a famous filming location from The Sound of Music. Step into movie history as you visit the picturesque picnic meadow, where Maria and the children began singing Do-Re-Mi. Enjoy the stunning alpine scenery that made this location so iconic.

The highlight of your afternoon is a visit to the medieval Mauterndorf Castle, a hidden gem in Austria’s Lungau region. Travel back in time as you explore its well-preserved halls and towers, offering insight into medieval life. After an hour of discovery, your journey continues over the scenic Tauern Pass, a breathtaking mountain route leading back toward Salzburg.
