I went to the small town of Werfen not too far away from the city of Salzburg. Although, I am not too much of a fan of the movie the Sound of Music, I thought that if it was good enough to be a film location, then it probably is pretty enough to be a film location. However, what greeted me was a dreary, snow covered town that I now have to visit. The major streets of the city were all in good walking, and even driving, condition. However, compared to the big city of Salzburg, Werfen is much sleepier and there were hardly any people out here. Though, I did arrive a little early in the morning which might explain why there weren’t too many people out yet.

In better weather, Werfen seems to be a nice place to visit for hiking. There are also a number of historical places here but I doubt that they would be open this time of the year, especially in this kind of weather. I’m sure that the scenery here is great but I think I will need to see if there is any scenery to be seen here. As sleepy as this town seems to be, I still need to go and see the sights now that I am here. The main street is where all of the action would be. Among, the more prominent structures here is the Werfen Church which can be easily seen because of the onion dome.
