Once you’re in Werfen (Eisriesenwelt & Hohenwerfen)
- Best time: May – October
- Typical stay: 1 day
- November: Better avoided: Werfen's two sights close for the winter: the Eisriesenwelt ice cave and Hohenwerfen castle are open only from about May to late October. From November to April there is nothing to visit here; see Salzburg's sights, or the Liechtensteinklamm in St Johann once it reopens in spring.
