True Crime Salzburg

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Salzburg, the city of Mozart, Baroque domes and festival glamour. But behind the pastel facades and beneath the fortress cliffs lies another Salzburg — a city of an unsolved killing in its most beloved park, a 1980 cold case that still haunts the courts, a river that has seen more than it will ever tell, and a courthouse where the darkest chapters are finally read aloud. On this walk we leave the postcard behind and follow the trail of the Mozart city's most notorious crimes, standing on the very spots where they unfolded.
