#1. Werfen
The world’s largest accessible ice caves, the soaring limestone turrets of the Tennengebirge range and a formidable 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 picnic 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.
