Hohenwerfen Castle
Hohenwerfen Castle is a medieval rock castle, situated on a 623m precipice overlooking the Austrian market town of Werfen in the Salzach valley, approximately 40 km south of Salzburg. The fortress is surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps and the adjacent Tennen Mountains. Hohenwerfen is a "sister" of Hohensalzburg Fortress, both built by the Archbishops of Salzburg in the 11th century.
