TOP OF CHAPTER
Werfen
06468 / POP 3020 / ELEV 525M
The world's largest accessible ice caves, the soaring limestone turrets of the Tennenge-
birge range, and a medieval fortress are but the tip of the superlative iceberg in Werfen.
Such salacious natural beauty hasn't escaped Hollywood producers - Werfen stars in
WWII action film
Where Eagles Dare
(1968) and makes a cameo appearance in the pic-
nic scene of
The Sound of Music.
Both the fortress and the ice caves can be squeezed into a day trip from Salzburg; start
early, visit the caves first and be at the fortress for the last falconry show.
