Ascent of the Untersberg

The final trip on our Salzburger Cards, as the last seconds of our 72 hour limit expired, was the cable-car ride up the Untersberg, the bigger mountain that overlooks the valley and city

The Untersberg, from Hellbrunn gardens,

the day before

Cable-car up to nearly the top

View at the top: total white-out, cold, raining, windy; I was

going to walk to the summit for a day-hike, but quickly

came to my senses

From the station at the top: cables descending into the void
