A independent customised trip booked through Thomas Cook Ltd lasting 7 days. Exact dates unknown but it was around Easter which in that year fell on 14th April. Travel was via London Victoria, Dover-Ostend ferry and Tauern Express overnight from Ostend to Salzburg. Accommodation in Salzburg was 5 nights at Hotel Gablerbrau  in Linzer Gasse:
Hotel Gablerbrau enjoys a most convenient situation in the city centre and close to the "Staatsbrucke"; cross over the River Salzach and you are into the historic old part of town. A medium grade hotel with 53 bedrooms all with private facilities, radio and telephone. Attractive restaurant in traditional Salzburg rustic style. Buffet breakfast. Lift. TV room. 

This was the second of several visits to Salzburg and the many delights of the city are described on other pages of this scrapbook. Here I have limited coverage to two excursions:

About 8 miles away from Salzburg, at the lovely village St. Leonhard, there is the ground-station of the new Untersberg-Cable-Car-Assoc. From there the cable-railway takes us within 7 minutes up to the top station of the Untersberg mountain. The altitude is 5310 ft. and the length of the way 7500 ft. The cable-car overcomes a difference of height between the valley and the top of 3900 ft. From here one has a magnificent and an unforgetable view at the jewel of the beautiful green country Salzburg. The view is one of the most attractive of its kind in the Alps, specially for its gigantic mountain-chains.

Our half-day trip to the "little Salzkammergut" shows us some of the scenic beauties surrounding the city of Salzburg. Passing the beautiful pilgrimage-church of Maria Plain, then Eugendorf and Thalgau, we soon come to the warmest lake in the Salzkammergut, the Mondsee, where remains and finds prove that in pre-historic times, pile-dwellers lived along its shores. We drive over the romantic Scharflingpass and now below us we see the dark, sinister, little Krotensee of legendary depth.

On to St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee, the birth-place of Mozart's mother. A look across to the Schafberg, 5340' and skirting the lake, we continue to its end through Strobl, where we cross the border into Upper-Austria. Along a new shore-road we reach St. Wolfgang. Taking an hour's rest it is worth-while to visit the old parish church. Here a miraculous and unique work of art awaits you: Michael Pacher's winged high-altar, pure gothic in style and one of the few remaining pieces of art of this sort in the world. Gilded and wood carved it took 10 years to complete. We also look into the well-known "White Horse Inn" where we enjoy the wonderful panorama and may have tea.

On our return journey again passing St. Gilgen, we admire the delicate and charming Mozart fountain and then on the ever colour-changing Fuschlsee. At its end we see the old hunting castle of the former prince-bishops. After a while, seeing Bavaria in the distance, we approach Salzburg silhouetted against the setting sun.
