Adventure in Salzburg

We accomplished a lot on our first day in Salzburg! We had heard about all sorts of different sightseeing spots and decided to go a lot of them in one day. The three major places we visited was the cemetery where Mozart's sister Nannerl is buried, the "catacombs" in the mountain, and the monastery atop a huge hill.

The cemetery was very sobering. There were so many graves! Not only that, but seeing some graves date back to the X century was awesome to see.

Nannerl's grave was also a sight to behold. However, there were various cleaning tools around her grave that kind of ruined the ambiance for me

The "catacombs" walk was a short path up from the cemetery up into the cliff face a little bit. Although the area wasn't very expansive, I enjoyed seeing the extremely old chapel, consecrated in 1178 under the Salzburg Archbishop Conrad of Wittelsbach. Even though it is nearly a thousand years old, they still hold mass in it today!

The last thing we did before the concert was climb up to the monastery. The view was to die for! We had a lot of fun playing in the final dregs of snow and looking at the castle. We were able to stay until sunset, which was just magical.
