Absolutely a wonderful place to explore. That is an awesome and interesting place. So many great displays and historic building. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day my friend…
Wow! Love the cobblestone streets as you make your way to the fortress. This fortress is extremely impressive! I love historic structures like this and it’s looking in excellent conditions still. Beautiful views from up there at the viewpoints. The museum looks really interesting too. Love seeing the old clothes and weaponry. Stunning observation tower too. Thanks for bringing us along! 😊💕
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of the Fortress Hohensalzburg. The place was pretty huge and I went away feeling as tho I had missed bits. Still I managed to get up the tower for those magnificent views. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍Paul
An awesome and worth seeing destination. Thanks for the good video. Very interesting to watch. The journey continues, my friend. Winter Greetings from Helsinki 🇫🇮 ❄
What an interesting and fun place to explore. There is so much to do and see, if you want to go to a museum, café, or just wander around at your own pace. Lots of places to get panoramic views. Wonderful place, great narrative. 👍👍🏰🏰
I'm glad you enjoyed this tour of the Fortress Hohensalzburg. It did offer great views over the city of Salzburg. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week ahead 👍🙂Paul
I enjoyed Salzburg and I'm not a big fan of cities. I got real lucky with the weather on this day. It was raining that morning and a couple of hours after my trip to the fortress a really bad thunder storm came in. I made it to the train station just in time. However my luck ran out the following week when I visited Hallstatt.
Hi Paul. Austria is famous for its castles and medieval towns. Salzburg is a really beautiful city, and the tour you took us on was wonderful. You had a great day for a walk. The castle is well preserved and beautiful. Of course the museum is fascinating. We didn't even expect that it wouldn't be full of antiques from armor to weapons. One beautiful video. Even just climbing the walls must have been exciting and being in a place where in ancient times archers shot attackers from the walls. Take care our friend and have a nice week. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😄🤗
Hi Stretana and Zac, I'm not a fan of cities but did enjoy Salzburg and the tour of the Fortress Hohensalzaburg was a super few hours out. it offered some fab views of the city of Salzburg and the distant mountains. I did get lucky with the weather as a bad thunderstorm came in on my way back to the hotel, would you believe. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week ahead, my friends 👍🙂Paul
Hello Paul, loved the walk up the the Fortress, lovely views at each level. The Fortress is amazing, its is very impressive. The views from the top of the Fortress were stunning. The weather looks gorgeous. There are lots of nooks and crannies like you say, The museum looked very interesting. So many view points. Thank you for showing us around Paul, take care, Julie and Tony x
Hi Julie n Tony, the fortress was pretty huge and left me with the feeling that I had not visited everywhere when leaving. It was great to get to the top of the fortress for the views. I also got real lucky with the weather as it was raining that morning and a bad thunderstorm came in on my way back to the hotel. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching 🙂👍Paul
Hi Phil, I'm not a big fan of cities as you know but did enjoy Salzburg. The Fortress Hohensalzburg was that large and complex I left with the feeling I had not visited everywhere. However I did get up that tower for those views. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching 👍🙂Paul
Great narration . Beautiful Fortress and surroundings. Very nice and interesting place to visit. So many people walking along. Amazing historical building , great architectural structure. Thank you so much for bringing us along. I really enjoyed it. Have a great day. Greetings Amie🇳🇿
Hi Amie, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour of the Fortress Hohensalzburg. It was a great few hours out. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week ahead 👍🙂Paul
The view from above the fortress is really beautiful.😍😍 The whole village looks like a beautiful structure.👍👍 It's interesting to see the historical relics and historical stories inside the fortress in a cute way so that you can see them at a glance. Thanks to you, we had a great view. Thank you for your hard work.💖💖
I'm so glad you enjoyed this tour of the Fortress Hohensalzburg. It was a super few hours out and some great views over the city of Salzburg. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week ahead, my friend 🙂👍
Unbelievable place Paul!! The views from the last tower are incredible! The castle complex is huge! Never realised it was that big. Shame you couldn’t get fully into the Church but otherwise what an amazing place. So much to see - and what a glorious day you had for it. We will definitely be visiting here in September. Our daughter has played Maria in the Sound of Music many times and loves Salzburg. So we will all be visiting this beautiful city. Great tour mate and thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Hi Dave, Fortress Hohensalzburg was certainly huge and complex. I left with the feeling that I not visited everywhere but I did get up the tower for those magnificent views. No doubt you will want to visit the destination of my next video too. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much for watching 🙂👍Paul
Fabulous download here, my good friend, keep it up.👍✨ Have a great week ahead be safe and healthy goodvibes!!!🌺💐 See you soon, bless you and your beautiful families, I wish you the best for 2024..😃🙏 Affectionately, 💓🌷 Your faithful friend, 💝 Bekaa
Paul, this is a fascinating place! The views from the fortress are impressive! The place definitely has a lot to it! To be able to walk around this area and imagine what it was like back then must be a bit mind-boggling! The church looked beautiful. Such an incredible history! I really enjoyed the displays and artifacts areas. Thanks for taking us along here 😊 It's funny. When I see tours inside of the castles, I always feel like it looked like they would've been drafty.
This place was huge and when I left I had the feeling I had not seen everything there. However it did offer great views over the city of Salzburg and the mountains. You can see why the fortress was built there with its commanding views in all directions. I suspect it was pretty drafty and cold in Winter. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much for watching 👍🙂Paul
fairy tale like intro! A bit of a mountain climb to get there but the view is spectacular. The multimedia museum room is a nice modern touch with some interesting history things to explore. Couldn't hear the question at 22:59 cause of the crying kid.. Really nicely set up museum in a castle and interesting they show a kind of a timeline. Salsburg is bucket list. Fortress Hohensalzburg is a good destination there and enjoyed the tour👍
Hi Mike, yeah a bit of a climb to get there unless you took the funicular. I always like to walk. It probably didn't help me mumbling as I wondered around the museum. It's a bit like a library, except for the screaming kid, where talking loud I might seem like a loony...well actually 😂 I'm not into cities that much but I enjoyed Salzburg and there's lots of places to visit close by. If you ever get the chance to visit you should. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour 🙂👍Paul
I have always wanted to visit Salzburg, especially the Fortress Hohensalzburg! I love the museum and the church you showed! I also loved the little museum of replicas you passed on the way to the observation deck - I love city replicas! The view from the observation deck is stunning! I also love the cow at the exit, haha! I will definitely have to visit in the future! Thanks so much for sharing, Paul!
Hi Kaylee, I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour of Fortess Hohensalzburg. If youi ever get the chance to visit Salzburg you should, it's a lovely city. The observation deck was the best bit. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week ahead 👍🙂Paul
An amazing castle and tour, Paul. Bat's in the pockets and all! Stunning views from the ramparts and plenty of cannon to keep the riff raff away. We couldn't hear what you didn't do because of the children laughing and carrying on. Best to turn the cannon around on them! 🤣🤣We enjoyed seeing all the displays and the lovely village inside. The woodwork inside the church was lovely. Beautiful views of Salzburg and the gorgeous mountains from the observation deck. Thanks for bringing us along.
Hi Dave n Kathy, I was very surprised to see bats flying around the castle and some scary puppets. Obviously they didn't scare the kids enough huh. This place wasn't very hermit friendly but worth a look around all the same. The views over the city and to the mountains were pretty awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
I sure hope that one day I do get the opportunity to visit such places around Austria! So awesome! The views truly are amazing and so much history in these places!
Happy Birthday 🍻 Paul. Another stunning and wonderful city. Miss this place and want to visit again. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. Have a wonderful day on your Birthday. Greatings from Germany 🇩🇪.
Hi Kenn, thanks for the birthday wishes. The fortress offered some superb views over the city of Salzburg and the mountains. It's a place I'd like to visit again some time. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Very nice Paul (time spent in this castle with its amazing views ) is definitely not wasted (wow you definitely do treat us to some amazing films mate ) the museum was cool too 👍 Again really enjoyed this episode of your German / Austrian series Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Hi Simon, this place was that huge I had the feeling I had not seen everything when leaving. At least I got up the tower for the views which was the main thing for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍 Paul
Hi Tracy, this place was huge. I'm still not sure I saw everything but I did get up a tower so that will do me. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I'm back in the mountains for the next one. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂 The Joking Hermit
Looks like an amazing castle Paul. Watching now and I think you make a lovely addition to your videos! 😁😁A "vernacular" to arrive in too. Now I'm excited!
Hi Dave n Kathy, this place was huge. I'm still not sure I saw the whole place 😂 And I do spoil a good view from time to time. The videos without me on them actually do better, would you believe. I'm not sure what that says 😂 On this occasion I didn't cheat but I'm not sure why because I remember being very tired on this day. Some beers in the evening sorted that tho 🙂
Wow that place where all the people where sitting with that breathtaking view was inviting lol. Great walk around the castle Paul. The displays were a different with the puppets, ya could be scary for a kid. Creepy laughing …cool outlook with the cannon and really interesting place to visit. I really enjoyed your tour. 👍😊🇨🇦
Hi Christine, yeah it was a pretty nice place to have food. I actually had a better place than that in Canada in 201 near Lake Louise. I will have to post some pics to my Instagram. I wish I'd been vlogging back then. Those puppets were a bit creepy. I should do a short with that laugh muhahahaha, I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul
Hi Paul, Beautiful historical fortress. As you, I would have chosen the steep hill instead of taking the cable car. It can see beautiful scenery. The view from the top is stunning. I remembered when I went to the Alhambra Palace in Spain. There was a cannon like the fortress Hohensalzburg Fortress. This doll museum is a little scary as there are bats and dolls with just faces. The weather is nice and the scenery is spectacular ! Thanks for wonderful tour ! Have a nice day 😊👍Juli
Hi Juli, even tho I remember being quite tired on this day I still walked up the hill. It was great to get up the tower for the views. You're right the puppets were a little creepy. I was lucky with the weather as it was raining that morning and a nasty thunderstorm came in a couple of hours later. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much for watching 👍🙂 Paul
Hi Paul wow the largest preserved castle in Europe 😯 It's so beautiful, we would love to walk up there and see the views and save the money !😃Gorgeous weather again and the view from up at the top was stunning. Very beautiful and definitely very well preserved. That was great 👍~ Anna
Hi Anna, It was quite a lovely and rather huge castle. I got lucky with the weather as it was raining that morning and a big thunderstorm a couple of hours after this. The views were quite something from the top on what was a pretty clear day. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 👍🙂 Paul
This place did offer super views over the mountains and the city. I was very lucky with the weather as it was raining that morning and a big thunderstorm came in a couple of hours after this, would you believe. The fortress was the kind of place that left you wondering whether you had seen it all when you left 🙂
What an amazing fortress. LoL oh good there's a train ride option too, that looks like quite the climb! Not a bad price. Beautiful views! That was a pretty cool indoor exhibit, puppets were a little creepy. 😁😁 Interesting to see how it grew over time.
Ha ha yeah pay extra for the lazy way in and perhaps get to see less. This was a castle were when you left you felt you had missed bits. You're right about the puppets. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching 🙂👍Paul
Ah there's still more to come from this trip Andy 😂 When I left the fortress it was that big it left me wondering whether I had seen it all. Ah 10 minutes of steps are nothing compared to the mountains 🙂
We did fancy this fortress when we were staying down the road in Wolfgangsee. Like the walk up, convenient way of paying for the tour. €13.80 seems pretty reasonable compared to EH prices! Some amazing cafes and viewpoints on the way up. Great views over Salzburg. The thunder vernicular! Busy old place. Great positioned cannons. Some of those Germans/austrians have very evil laughs! Splashed out on the museum tour 😂 scary figurines! Amazing views from the observation point and I feel like less people have bothered to walk all the way up to the top! 👍
Yeah €13.80 wasn't too bad for what you got to see and I was pleasantly surprised by the castle tour. Having said that it was far from hermit friendly. I'm not a museum person but it was either a basic ticket or all in so went all in. It was one of those I've paid for it so I will have a look around 😂 The observation deck was probably the best spot all day for me. I think a lot of people are maybe too lazy or didn't know where the entrance was. This was the kind of castle where when you left you had the feeling you had missed bits. Still I got up that tower and that was good enough for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for watching. I'm back in the mountains for the next one. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
How cool, I was there last month!!! Salzburg is such a nice city am I right?I completely underestimated how fun it would be there, and I just happened to be there at the tail end of the night markets too to see the city in full Christmas swing! Awesome shots, I hope my video will keep up to this standard!
I'm not a big fan of cities but did enjoy my time in Salzburg. I bet the Christmas markets were pretty awesome. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week, my friend 👍🙂
Beers in the fortress sounds good 😋😆 if they did that in england you'd get a bunch of football hooligans getting boozed up and singing England songs. Looked like quite a hike up and around the fortress, the place is massive! The museum was a bit nightmarish, like a dari version of Hansel and Gretel. Great views all around. Never been to Salzburg but will definitely put it on the list!
Hi Matt, yeah I can imagine all the louts taking over that place with their tops off and beer bellies hanging out 😂 Fortress Hohensalzburg was quite huge and complex. I left the place with the feeling I had not visited everywhere. Salzburg is definitely a place worth visiting and not far from the mountains either. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul
Hi Paul, I'm really enjoying your series on Austria and Bavaria. What spectacular views of the city of Salzburg from the fortress. I wonder if the canon is aimed at annoying tourists? There are always a few, wherever you visit, lol! Interesting to see inside the castle too. Are you sure it wasn't you doing the evil laugh? 🤔 😂 The exhibits and artifacts were very cool. Lots of crooks and nannies, hehe! Agree with you, the views stole the show! Cheers! 🍻❤
Hi Julie n Lucy, when not in the mountains I do like a good castle, although it wasn't hermit friendly at all. I was probably one of those annoying tourists walking round with a GoPro 😂 I think my laugh is more cheeky than evil tho it was quite an impressive laugh 😂 I'm not a museum person but I'd paid so I thought I'd have a look. Best bit was getting up to the top of the tower for the views. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul
what they heck?! i watch this whole thing, and all i get are spectacular views and interesting commentary. where is the dragon? i want dragons at my castles moving forward, the anne mccaffrey kind, if you please. 👀🤣 i would love a meal and a drink at that restaurant. the air, the view, would be nice. the thunderous funicular is cool. it's all cool. ahhhhhh! some odd displays in the museum, it could be a bit unsettling to kids! was that a fake cow when you were leaving?! lol! have a great one, paul! 🛴❤
Hi Anne, well there was a St Georges Church but no dragon. I guess George slayed it 🙂 I do like to ramble on when in these places. It would be a great place for a drink but after having a beer in Bindalm it didn't seem that good 🙂 The views were pretty commanding and you could see why a castle was built there being able to see for miles around. I'm not sure I spotted a fake cow 😂but this place sure wasn't hermit friendly. Thank you so much for taking time to watch. I'm back in the mountains for the next one. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
@@TheHikingHermit 1. happy birthday! 2. congrats again on the big news! 3. and yes, i went back and rewatched the last 10 minutes. 31:45 is one of the cow appearances!
@@scootladychicago ha ha I had to go watch and I never spotted that cow either on the day or whilst making the video. And thanks for the birthday wishes 🙂
