What to expect
The Mönchsberg is a mountain in the city of Salzburg, offering a popular local recreation area with abundant forests and meadows. It is named after the Benedictine monks of St Peter's Abbey at the northern foot of the mountain. The Mönchsberg plateau provides a small-scale change of forests and meadows, making it a great place for families to visit and enjoy nature. The mountain also features several historic fortifications, such as the Richterhöhe, Bürgerwehr, and Müllner Schanze, which offer panoramic views over the city and the surrounding mountains. Visitors can also explore the many footpaths, including easy routes and more challenging city hikes, and enjoy the stunning views of Salzburg's historic city centre
