Salzburg Photos: View from Mount Gaisberg
return to "winter
photos 2"
Another picture that our photographer took during a very rewarding outing to
Mount Gaisberg on a cold winter day. This Gaisberg view shows the north-western
parts of Salzburg city and some nearby mountains of the Northern Calciferious
Alps. The Gaisberg is an important recreational area in Salzburg and a very
accessible mountain from the city. Note that there is also an oldtimer race
every year for which owners of antique cars travel from the
Residenzplatz outside of the
Salzburger Dom Cathedral to the summit of the Gaisberg and return.
Other popular events up there are mostly of the sportive kind. During the winter,
snow hiking, paragliding and even some cross-country skiing are popular. There
is a circular path that will take you around the mountain in an elevated
altitude. This "Gaisbergrundweg" has several spots with look-outs on the city of
Salzburg, the hill region of the Flachgau, the
Salzkammergut and the Alps.
