A View of Untersberg

Hello, long-neglected blog!

It's true: it's hard to update a blog about Salzburg when I don't live there anymore.  But, there has been a post on my mind for a while.

It's hard not to associate Austria with the Alps.  Climb Every Mountain?  And, for nine months, Untersberg was the view out of my window.  It was a daily reminder that I was living in a new place, and its appearance throughout the seasons was a visible representation of the passage of time. (Or, the fact that last winter lasted forever  - never mind about the elevation.)

We never got around to hiking up Untersberg or taking the Seilbahn (cable car) to the peak, but if you'd like some information on that, here you go!  No matter what season, bring a jacket and a camera.  In the spring, Spar was giving away coupons for discounted tickets for the cable car, so if you're in Salzburg long-term, check for that. 

Can you spot the Seilbahn in some of the pictures?
