Mauterndorf
Mauterndorf is a rural town in the heart of the Salzburg region of Lungau, which was named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It was once an important trading hub positioned on the route for transporting goods between Salzburg and Italy, but now Mauterndorf is mostly famous for its eponymous castle. Knight workshops and exhibitions are held at the castle, which is enveloped by a wonderfully conceived trail with a drawbridge that never ceases to put a smile on the children’s faces.
