The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

This picturesque cemetery, much of which dates back to the 17th century, provides a secluded spot to escape the bustle of the rest of the city.
The Petersfriedhof or St. Peter's Cemetery is - together with the burial site at Nonnberg Abbey - the oldest cemetery in the Austrian city of Salzburg, located at the foot of the Festungsberg with Hohensalzburg Castle.

People laugh at me, but I adore European cemeteries and this is one of the best I have seen. I went early and it was so peaceful and quiet - beautiful graves, statues, and paintings - the day was hot, so the shade was very welcome - stayed for about 1 1/2 hours.

We have found this hidden jewel of Salzburg when strolling through the Linzer Gasse. The cemetery already exist since 1511, but at the end of the 16th century it was renovated. Central in the cemetery is the Gabriel Chapel, which is a mausoleum for Wolf Dietrich, whom died in 1617. Not in the mausoleum, but around it we can find some interesting graves like the father (Leopold 1719-1787) and the wife (Constanze 1762-1842) of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are buried here together with the aunt of Constanze (Genoveva von Weber). We recommend took make some time in your schedule to visit this cemetery.

I thought the catacombs were well worth the visit and 2 euros I paid to get in. There are some beautiful views overlooking the cemetery from carved rock windows, and there are several altars and carvings into the stone. If you are claustrophobic or have limited mobility, the catacombs are not for you. There are steep, stone-carved steps that are well worn and some tight spaces that may make some feel uncomfortable.
