NEAR SALZBURG

The following sights and activities take you just outside Salzburg for easy side-trips.

▲▲Hellbrunn Palace and Gardens

In about 1610, Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus decided he needed a lavish palace with a vast and ornate garden purely for pleasure (I imagine after meditating on stewardship and Christ-like values). He built this summer palace and hunting lodge, and just loved inviting his VIP guests from throughout Europe to have some fun with his trick fountains. Today, Hellbrunn is a popular side-trip. While the formal garden may be one of the oldest in Europe (with a gazebo made famous by The Sound of Music), it’s nothing special. The real draws here are those amazing fountains and the surprisingly engaging exhibits inside the palace. Perhaps most of all, Hellbrunn provides an ideal excuse to get out of the city.
