This article has been updated in May 2019 One of my recent articles was a detailed guide about Salzburg, but in my opinion, a trip to Salzburg would be incomplete if you’re missing out the spectacular surroundings of the city. Salzburg is lucky to have some of the most idyllic landscapes of the planet right at its doorstep! Even if you only have half a day off, it’s easy to venture out and catch a fresh breeze in the mountains,…
The hills are alive…. If you’re not from Austria, you might be surprised that a majority of my fellow citizens (and myself) never have seen The Sound of Music (am I missing out anything?) Nevertheless I still can tell you quite something about Salzburg, which – just like Mozart – is my birth town (and that’s the only thing we both have in common!) – and coincidentally this article comes out just before my birthday 😉 I don’t know why it…

It was a spontaneous idea and therefore I was on my own, however I really enjoyed the peace…
I hope you had a great start into 2017 everyone! I spent some relaxing days with my bf and family in Salzburg, before we headed off to the mountains of the beautiful Gasteinertal. I was especially excited about taking my snowboard out for the first time this season but also because it should be the first time in 25 (!) years that my bf is back on skis! I was a bit skeptical at first, but then – he pretty much left…
