Ukuqasha kokuvakasha e-Salzburg

Let me show you my personal favorites in Salzburg, what made me fall in love with this city 8 years ago when I moved here during this lovely walk! Of course I will include the locations that you cannot miss while you are visiting, but perhaps from a different angle. I will point out places, art pieces, views and share with you stories that you might not discover or hear about otherwise. During this walk we will visit the centre of Salzburg, you will be able to enjoy its baroque gardens, stroll along its river the Salzach, see its opulent squares; walk amongst its many churches and hills, and along its narrow streets with beautiful pastel coloured houses. However, Salzburg is not only about the past, tradition and history. Let me show you this town's modern side, the art pieces, the contrast between old and new, which I personally love! I also think that being introduced to a city doesn't just mean walking around and learning about its past and seeing the sights. I think for the full experience you need to taste the traditional food and drinks, see a concert or visit a museum. That's the reason why I will give you restaurant and cafe recommendations, tell you about events and exhibitions that are happening now. At the end of our tour you will experience incredible views of the Old Town of Salzburg and the mountains. Please contact me if you don't see a time suitable for you. Other things to note How to recognise me: I'll be the one wearing the Austria Guide badge. Please arrive to the meeting point 10 minutes before start time. There will be opportunities to use public restrooms during our walk.

Roll up your sleeves for an Austrian cooking class in Salzburg, and create two of the country’s favourite desserts: apple strudel and Salzburger Nockerl, a light soufflé what mirrows Salzburg’s baroque atmosphere. Under the guidance of a chef, you’ll stretch pastry and mix ingredients as you learn about the food and chat with the rest of the group. As a bonus, a hearty bowl of goulash soup is served before you eat your creations.

Together we will discover and explore Hallstatt, probably the most photogenic mountain gem in the Austrian Alps. I was born and raised in this region and I'm quite confident to say that I know every single corner of this village ;) The tour will take at least about 2 hours. We will cover the obvious "touristy" postcard photo spots, but I will also show you some hidden hideaways. I will take pictures of you if you want and provide at between 20-30 edited HI-RES pictures on the same day the tour takes place. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a guided tour where I present historical information (I'm a professional photographer with a registerd licenses for this kind of work), so the product you are buying is actually a photoshoot on different locations. But if you have questions about Hallstatt and how it is to live here, I'm happy to answer them :) If there is no availibility for the day you want to visit Hallstatt, please get in conctact with me, maybe we can arrange an alternative starting time. Also if you are looking for a proposals/pre-wedding/engagement shooting, just send me a message, I do these kind of shoots on a regular basis and know the best spots for these kind of photos Other things to note Hallstatt is a really small village, so you will definitely will see all parts of it in these approx. two hours tour :)

Adventure is on: The Eagle's Nest opens its doors again! We will travel from Salzburg to the heart of the Bavarian Alps by bus. Once in the town of Obersalzberg at the foot of the mountain, we will start exploring the area! The forest is filled with secret locations that tell the story of WWII, from the rise and fall of the thrid Reich(Hitler´s Berghof, secret access to the bunkers, etc) that most people will never visit when in the area. After the exploring the forest, we will start our hike up to the actual Eagle´s Nest. Very important to know is that I will navigate you thru the mountain , set up an appropriate pace for all and establish breaks every 20 minutes. The hike takes on average 2:30 hours to complete. The distance of the hike up is 4,47 miles (7,2 km) and the gained altitude is 2857 feet (861 meters). The terrain is not technical and the forest provides with good coverage from the sun. On top, you will find the famous Eagle´s Nest on the exact same way it was found in 1945 by the men of the 101's . There we will enjoy the rewards of our hike. Astonishing views, a picnic in the mountain (take the food you want to eat with you) or a visit to the restaurant. After exploring the alpine terrain, we will ride down the mountain back Obersalzberg and then comfortably back to Salzburg. Please note that you need a negative test or equivalent to take part.

We will hike up the Salzberg, enjoy breathtaking views of Hallstatt, and visit the iconc "World Heritage Skywalk", an artifical viewing platform hovering 350m above the town. There we will have a quick snack and get some coffee before we watch the sun rise, clouds pass by and begin the day. I will caputre these mesmerising moments with my camera for you, so you can enjoy this experience to the fullest. After that we will walk down again into the historic center of the town. Other things to note Because this experince is very weather-dependent, I will inform you about the conditions at least one day in advance. Also the starting time is a variable aspect because of changing solar altitude.
