The towering and huge castle-Haltzberg Fortress
Salzburg, Austria's second largest city, is located on the border between Austria and Germany. The Hohensalzburg Fortress, also known as the Festung Hohensalzburg, is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Salzburg. Located at a hub of land and water transportation, Salzburg has experienced countless European wars such as those fought by the Roman Empire, the Germanic peoples, and the Ottoman Empire. It is a strategic transportation hub in Central Europe that has been fought over by military strategists. However, it has never been breached. Therefore, the Salzburg Fortress (Festung Hohensalzburg) is not only the largest castle in medieval Europe, but also the best preserved one. Just like its name, "Festung" refers to the castle, and "Hohen" refers to the towering. The towering and majestic huge castle is the deep impression it has left on the world. #Salzburg #Austria
