About Burg Hohenwerfen
Hohenwerfen occupies a rise above the Salzach valley in Werfen. The set of walls and towers can be seen from the town and the railway.
The internal circuit presents rooms and interpretation of the fortress, with activities according to the program. The position above the valley explains the castle’s siting. The visit to the building should be distinguished from shows and demonstrations that may occur on specific days.
The season is usually concentrated between April and November, with dates set annually. Allow time for the approach, the ascent and entering the rooms. Those combining the castle with the Eisriesenwelt cave need two broad time periods; staying overnight in Werfen avoids a trip made almost entirely of transfers.
