Bad Reichenhall in Germany and a Second Day in Salzburg

Another good cafe for a dense breakfast with a wide variety of dishes and coffees.
There are vegetarian dishes, salads, pastas, burgers, etc.
The cafe is open from 6:30 am (rare in the city) to 6 pm.

Since Salzburg is a border city, you should note that it is close to the border with Germany and one of the best spa-towns - Bad Reichenhall.
The city is primarily a climatic and ecological resort.
In the vicinity of Bad Reichenhall there are unique mineral water springs as well as numerous thermal baths.
In addition, given that the city is located in the foothills of the Alps, the air here is not only clean, but also has health benefits, and the mild climate only contributes to a general atmosphere of rest and relaxation.
The city is situated close to the Berchstengadene National Park, the pearl of which is Lake Königsee, or the Royal Lake.
One of the peculiarities of the lake is that thanks to the underground springs that feed it, its water remains cold all year round and is crystal clear at the same time.
However, this place has a dark side, because 30-40 years of the last century in the vicinity of the lake was one of the branches of the concentration camp Dachau.

After the beautiful scenery of the lake is worth a visit to the spa complex Rupertus Therme.
It is one of the popular spas of the town, which has saunas with an original design, swimming pools with warm and icy water containing local healing salt, jacuzzis of different sizes, salt caves.
There are panoramic windows everywhere - a great place to gaze at the mountains and relax :)
Every hour there is a ceremony in the complex in a large sauna - the contrast of hot waters with icy waters.

The Kapuzinerberg hill is located 640 meters above sea level on the banks of the Salzach River.
In addition to the Capuchin monastery, which is located on this mountain, you can see the dilapidated wall that leads to the fortress with the lift bridge Francis Schloss.
You can climb the Capuchinerberg by stairs and a serpentine route.
The mountain offers beautiful views of the historic part of Salzburg and the river.

The heart of old Salzburg, the majestic Hohensalzburg Castle, rises gracefully above the city.
The history of the castle goes back more than 900 years, but even during this period the appearance of the castle has not changed much and is in excellent condition.
Various exhibitions and concerts are regularly held here.
The castle can be reached by cable car.
In the museum of the castle, there are guided tours that tell about the daily life of the inhabitants and about the milestones of the castle history. There is an extensive collection of historical weapons and ancient cannons.

Another cozy place with Austrian cuisine.
National dishes favored by visitors:
1) Gröstl. It is made of potatoes fried in butter with beef, smoked pork brisket, tomatoes, herbs and spices. Gröstl is often served with glazed potatoes. 2) Vienna pork schnitzel; 3) Fruit vodka made from a mixture of different fruits and Himbergheist - raspberry vodka; 4) Almdudler - Austrian lemonade made of spicy herbs.
The restaurant is open from 11 to 22.

Surrounded by ornate medieval buildings on the square stands a monument to Mozart.
In front of the monument on the sidewalk is a plaque on which it is written that Salzburg is listed as a World Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The bronze monument to Mozart was made by the Munich sculptor Ludwig von Schwanthaler.
It was inaugurated in 1842 in the presence of Mozart's two sons.
Be sure to visit the Mozart House here as well!
The square is full of people all year round, wanting to see one of the city's main attractions in person and then enjoy a hot punch to the chime of the bells of the neighboring Archbishop's palace.
The unique atmosphere of this place is especially felt on Christmas Eve, when the square is decorated for the most important Christian holiday.

If you are tired of the cultural program and want to have some fun - there is an excellent casino in town.
Casino Salzburg is located in an old historic building. On Christmas Day, a very beautiful illumination is switched on outside.
For the gamblers here are all games for all tastes. A good selection of alcohol.
The casino is open until 3 a.m.

Schnitzel, steaks, pumpkin soup, duck liver pate and, of course, Austrian beer - that's what tourists choose when they come to this wonderful restaurant.
Make a reservation, there may be a lot of people - the locals also like to come here for dinner.
The restaurant is open from 11 am until midnight.
