SALZBURG GEOGRAPHY |
| |
The city is set on the banks of the Salzach river. It resides on the
northern boundary of the Alps, with a dominant view of mountains to the
south, contrasting with rolling plains to the north. The first in the Alpine
chain is the Untersberg mountain, at 1972m in height, which is only a few
kilometres from the centre of the city.
The inner city, or old town, is dominated by its baroque towers and many
churches. The area is bound by two small mountains, the Monschsberg and
Kapuzinerberg.
The city is approximately 150km east of Munich, and 300km west of Vienna. |
