Property Description
In the Baroque center of Salzburg - the city of Mozart and of world famous festivals - the Hotel Goldener Hirsch is testimony to half a millennium of European cultural heritage. A personal hotel, rich in tradition, we are situated just a short distance from Mozart's birthplace on Salzburg's main street, Getreidegasse. The hotel's history dates back at least as far as 1407, when it was first mentioned in a written document as an inn. This warm and inviting hotel considers each guest a "friend of the house." You'll be warmly welcomed and happily served in a very special atmosphere of locally crafted furnishings and antique artwork. It's just part of the reason we were named one of the "Top 75 Hotels in Europe" by Condé Nast Traveler in 2005, to their 2004 and 2005 Gold Lists, and a 2004 Readers' Choice winner. Travel + Leisure magazine also named us one of the "World's Best" in 2004. Come and experience the gracious surroundings of the award-winning Hotel Goldener Hirsch for yourself.

Austria is a country of startling contrasts, from the Alps in the west to the Danube Basin in the east. One of the world's premier skiing regions, it is also noted for its historical buildings, world-class museums and galleries, and breathtaking mountain scenery.
The country's glorious architectural riches include reminders of the once-powerful Hapsburgs, who dominated central Europe for seven centuries. The capital, Vienna, is magnificent with its ornate Opera House and the imperial Hofburg. Austria's other cities are similarly infused
with historical magic, notably Mozart's birthplace, Salzburg, with stunning baroque churches set before a backdrop of snow-covered peaks, and Innsbruck, in the center of Austria's Alps.
Austria has produced and inspired a catalog of cultural figures. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Austria - and, in particular, Vienna - became a focal point of the cultural renaissance. Remnants of Mozart's legacy are everywhere. However, Austria has also yielded people such as artists Klimt and Schiele, composers Mahler and Schubert, psychologists Freud and Rank, and philosophers such as Husserl and Wittgenstein.
Austria is a hothouse of striking contemporary architecture and is at the forefront of engineering, invention and design. It enjoys an enduring reputation for music, literature and the arts; visitors are just as likely to find Alpine New Wave punk-rock as they are yodelling. Gourmet culture is evident in the cafes where coffee-drinking has been raised to a high art. Nightlife is versatile, offering laid-back taverns, beer gardens and excellent après-ski, trendy clubs and dance venues.
Celebrations marking events such as the recent 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth and Haydn's 200th anniversary in 2009 underline Austria's desire to embrace its rich past. Yet it also proudly fosters its contemporary cultural and social scene. Regardless, staring at a classic Austrian landscape is a reminder that some things are timeless.
Geography Austria is a landlocked country, bordered by Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Italy. It is a mountainous country, nearly half of which is covered with forests. Austria's nine Federal Provinces form a political entity, but reflect a diversity of landscapes falling into five sections: the Eastern Alps (62.8%), the Alpine and Carpathian Foothills (11.3%), the Pannonian Lowlands (11.3%), the Vienna Basin (4.4%) and the Granite and Gneiss Highlands or Bohemian Massif (10.1%). Austria's highest mountain is Grossglockner (3,798m/12,465ft). On its way from the Black Forest in southern Germany to the Black Sea, the River Danube flows approximately 360km (220 miles) through Austria.
The vegetation changes according to the climate: the lower regions are densely wooded, with fir predominating above 488m (1,600ft) and giving way to larch and stone-pine beyond 1,219m (4,000ft); the Alpine foothills consist predominantly of arable land and grassland (above 610m/2,000ft). The Pannonian region is characterized by scrub and heathland.
