Things to do in Austrian Alps, Austrian Alps: The Best Monuments & Statues
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.

I love the history of this church. Emperor Maximilian I liked Innsbruck so much he wanted to be buried here... surrounded by 40 larger than life cast-bronze statues of his ancestors, relatives and even his favorite heroes from the Middle Ages like King Arthur. This elaborate display was built inside this church but poor Max isn’t buried there. By the time he died, he had become notorious for running up debts so the town did not allow him to be buried inside the church. So his elaborate sarcophagus is now called a cenotaph since it does not contain a body! Weird!!

Constructed in 1937, this church was built on the site where the church of Father Josef Mohr, one of the composers of "Silent Night," was once located.

For the Christmas lovers, this is a must see if you are in Salzburg Austria. The train ride is about 10Euros, and requires about 30 minutes each way. The chapel is an easy 15 min walk from the Oberndorf stop. The Chapel is small and inconspicuous, however very memorable. there is also a souvenir shop on the site. Located on the banks of the Salzack River, travelers are able to walk toward several other beautiful religious sites and return to the train station by walking thru a german village on the return into Austria...total walk time about 3 min. Leaving 30 min for each site makes it a 2 hr plus diversion.

This is a monument named after st Anna, the maternal grand mother of Lord jesus as it's erected on st anna''s day to celebrate the winning of war and as a rest the troops were driven out of innsbruck on st anna''s day. The pillar has four saints statues on four of its sides and is quite a sight.

The arch was built in 1765 in honor of the wedding of Leopold to Maria Ludovica of Tuscany. It expresses the joy of the marriange on one side, and the sadness of the death of Francis I on the other.

A great place to start your walk down Maria-Theresien-Strasse. Ensure that you see all sides. Take care as is is on a busy junction.

Located in the square in old down, Mozart watches over the crowds. Good picture spot. Can't visit Salzburg without seeing the statue.
