A lovely day touring with a family from Australia.
We visited Hallstatt, the Salt Mines, and Mondsee, where we stopped at the famous wedding church from *The Sound of Music*.
The Hallstatt Funicular is now open again after a year of construction work. The SkyWalk view is as always spectacular.
The Salt Mines have also been renewed, with a new exhibition and some laser shows. The mine is quite interesting, although I still prefer and recommend the salt mines in Bad Dürrnberg, only about 30 minutes from Salzburg.
At the end of the day, we visited Hangar-7. It happened to be a particularly interesting day, as the Flying Bulls had been performing an air show over Lake Wolfgangsee. When we arrived at Hangar-7, some of the aircraft were landing.
It was especially interesting to watch the Bell Cobra land so precisely on the platform before being moved inside the Hangar-7 building.
A very nice day with many different experiences along the way.
If you would like to explore Salzburg and the surrounding area, I’d be happy to show you around.
