Here are not only beautiful forest roads but also a Mozart bust, a monastery and a small fortress which today offers refreshments.

Adolf Hitler had big plans for a gigantic arena with a festival house, but the project could not be started and Kapuzinerberg remained relatively untouched.

Upon the hill are several lookout points that cover both old- and new town, with the Alps as a background. Expect a half-hour walk to get to the top, but then you also get the best views of Salzburg.
