Silent Night Chapel (Stille Nacht Kapelle)

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.

Reviewed By GaryTR

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.

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

Radfahrer

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The Radfahrer Sculpture is a sculpture close to the western bank of Makartsteg. This nude bronze statue was created by Salzburg sculptor Lotte Ranft in 1992. The sculpture depicts a cyclists leaning against his bicycle with their head raised toward the sky as if enjoying the sun. A pretty cool sculpture and one worth seeking out.

Gurken

Reviewed By permia

Seeing this modern art piece alongside the classical 19th century homage to Friedrich Schiller, and next to the University Auditorium, was intriguing. Erwin Wurm, the Austrian artist, has created a though provoking and attention grabbing sculpture. Gherkins, the subject of his creation and all human sized, seem to be sprouting from the pavement. The assemblage of the two works next to a venerable learning institution, is testament that a city regarded as traditional, also has an ironic sense of humour.
