Werfen, Austria

About 30min. south of Salzburg was probably the coolest thing we saw on the whole trip :) A fortress/castle dating from the 12th century, complete with 12th century frescoes, a falconry museum and great views of the entire valley! Lots of steps and heavy climbing, but I am sure that my calves can now crush walnuts into powder [giggle]. It survived a number of wars, various uses for the military--and even a fire, and it's still standing. It's clock tower still works too after only being repaired 1x in the 1980s!!!
