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.

We attended the mass in this beautiful church. Golden statues everywhere. Very nice ceiling. Cemetery in the garden. It was so cold that the kids kept their hats. Not a big church but a very nice one.

While my husband and I were on a tour of Salzburg, we had some free time on our own, and were walking towards the funicular which climbs up to the Fortress, when we happened upon St. Peter's Church, Abbey, Cemetery and Catacombs. It was amazing! The self guided tour of the Catacombs was especially enlightening. For those who love history and old architecture and learning about different cultures, don't miss this beautiful hidden treasure of Salzburg.

What it lacks in size compared to the Cathedral it makes up in height and design. It was originally the high vaulted section with the altar. An addition was made for more seating but it really gives the church an odd design. The best part is the original building with the high roof and tower. While the inside is beautiful with several side chapels and great stain glass, it is the vaulted ceiling and five support columns that make this a Salzburg MUST SEE. It is what distinguishes the church and makes it unique, along with is Gothic design in a Baroque city.

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!!

We walked to the Abbey from the Old Town, take the street past the Fenicular up to the Fortress and walk along the path up the hill for about 10 mins. The outside is exactly as it was in the SOM. Take a walk into the Church and wander through the outside to see all the graves of the nuns.
