We drove to Zell Am See, about an hour and a half south from Salzburg. This picturesque lake side (see side) town was pretty, quaint, and very scenic. It served as a starting point for two of the major things we wanted to touch in Austria.
Day 2 in Salzburg was another gentle day of strolling through town, visiting the castle on top of the hill, and the Red Bull Hangar.
Day 1 in Salzburg is actually the day after our return from just across the border from the creepy elevator and the magical lake. This was a restful day of strolling through town, with ease.
