Erlebnisburg Hohenwerfen was begun in the 11th century by the archbishops of Salzburg and was enlarged in the 16th century by the addition of outer fortifications. The stronghold is located in a commanding position overlooking the Salzach river between the Tennen and Hagen mountain ranges. Visitors to the castle can take in a guided tour and see an exhibition of weapons or experience a multimedia presentation about the fortresses’ history. Hohenwerfen is also a falconry centre and there are daily demonstrations featuring falconers acting out a royal hunting party.
