Good, compact castle in Werfen, Near Salzburg, Austria
Burg Hohenwerfen的点评
点评:This 11 century Castle is near Werfen Station (about 30 min by train from Salzburg). If you happen to come here to see the Werfen Ice caves (Eisriesenwelt ) then you can easily visit this castle.
Its walkable from Werfen station (about 1.6 kms) to the main entrance from where you can take the funicular or walk 20min uphill to reach the castle. There is a ticket for the castle and the funicular (optional).
Not a big castle but has good views, with medieval period arms, battle costumes and cannons. There is a periodic falcon show in the castle. There are good number of steps up and down thus anyone having mobility issues better avoid. A nice peek into the period, history and way of life when these places were used as fortress.
Possible to see around this place easily in about 2 to 3 hours.
If you have not seen other castles nearby and happen to visit werfen for ice caves, Golling waterfall etc then this need not be missed.
翻译:这座建于11世纪的城堡靠近韦尔芬火车站(从萨尔茨堡乘火车约30分钟即可到达)。如果您恰好来此参观韦尔芬冰洞(Eisriesenwelt),那么您可以顺道游览这座城堡。
从韦尔芬火车站步行约1.6公里即可到达城堡正门,在那里您可以乘坐缆车或步行20分钟上山到达城堡。城堡和缆车(可选)需要联票。
城堡规模不大,但视野开阔,内部陈列着中世纪的武器、战服和大炮。城堡内会定期举办猎鹰表演。城堡内有不少台阶,因此行动不便者最好不要前往。这里可以很好地了解当时作为要塞的历史和生活方式。
游览这座城堡大约需要2到3个小时。
如果你还没有参观过附近的其他城堡,并且碰巧去韦尔芬游览冰洞、戈林瀑布等景点,那么这个城堡就不容错过。
