1999 Austria / London / Munich: Salzburg City Walk
Near the bottom of the path, before we return to the central plaza, we come across our lunchtime stop, the Steigl-Keller brewery which dates back to 1492. Lunch is great. Each of us orders something local. Several of us sample the local beers.
Leaving the brewery we continue on the path back down to the level of the town. We walk in the direction of the graveyard, stopping briefly to admire a building built around a brook which flows from the castle hill into town.
The architecture, especially the doors and windows, catch my eye again and again.
We passed by a large-scale chess game.
We walked by a church, but I wasn't able to get a clear picture of the inside. (If it was more important I'd carry around a large photo "slave" strobe to give me a serious amount of light for big, dark interiors, but it isn't.)
Passing by a tiny outdoor café we got the attention of a beagle. I have no idea why I took this picture. Vacations are strange that way.
Rose pointed out that this window has two levels. I guess it's noisy or cold (or both) here.
Each store (and guilds of old) sport a sign which hangs above the crowds. Many of these are beautiful. A book ought to be done of these.
Right by Mozart's birthplace is a cheese shop built into a tiny space, half of which is below the street level. It's called The Little Hole.
We move on to the graveyard.
