Salzburg without people / Salzburg ohne Menschen

Hello,

Last week I was in Salzburg for three days for work. I usually go back to Munich, but this time, because of the border controls and the hassle of doing it, I stayed there longer.

I love Salzburg, it is a particularly beautiful city, with a lot of culture, a rich history and a certain charm.

Hallo,

letzte Woche war ich für drei Tage in Salzburg wegen der Arbeit unterwegs. Normalerweise fahre ich nach München zurück, aber dieses Mal, wegen der Grenzkontrollen und den Aufwand was man damit hat, blieb ich länger da.

Ich liebe Salzburg, es ist eine besonders schöne Stadt, mit viel Kultur, reiche Geschichte und einen gewissen Charme.

The working days were very long, and I usually finished work after 6:30 p.m. In Salzburg everything close at 7:00 p.m. and the curfew applies from 8:00 p.m. That's why I had very little time to see the city. One evening I walked along the Salzach at Elisabethkai to the Mirabell Castle.

Es waren sehr lange Arbeitstage, wo ich meistens nach 18:30 Feierabend gemacht habe. In Salzburg machen alles zu um 19:00 Uhr und ab 20:00 Uhr gilt die Ausgangssperre. Deswegen hatte ich sehr wenig Zeit mir die Stadt anzuschauen. An einem Abend bin ich am Elisabethkai entlang der Salzach gelaufen, bis zum Mirabellschloß.

The Mirabellschloß has a beautiful garden, the Mirabellgarten, which was also deserted. Usually you are there, never alone.

Now it was totally different. Not a soul to be seen far and wide.

Das Mirabellschloß hat einen wunderschönen Garten, das Mirabellgarten, was auch Menschenleer war. Normalerweise ist man da, nie alleine.

Jetzt war es total anders. Keine Menschenseele weit und breit zu sehen.

The beautiful Mirabell Gardens are still waiting for spring and the people.

Even when it was cloudy outside, I felt very good. The air was fresh and everything was quiet and calming, no traffic noise, no industrial noise.

Das schöne Mirabellgarten wartet noch auf dem Frühling und die Menschen.

Auch wenn es draußen trüb war, habe ich mich sehr gut gefühlt. Die Luft war frisch und alles war still und beruhigend, kein Verkehrslärm, kein Industriegeräusch.

On the second evening I visited the old town. Salzburg's old town is on the other bank of the Salzach.

Am zweiten Abend habe ich die Altstadt besichtigt. Salzburger Altstadt ist auf dem anderen Ufer der Salzach.

For music lovers, you will find Mozart's birthplace here. I wanted to go to the museum, but unfortunately it was also closed.

Für die Musikliebhaber hier findet man Mozarts Geburtshaus. Ich wollte rein ins Museum, war leider aber schon zu.

Residenzplatz was also empty. Almost no one to be seen, just a few people jogging. Was the only tourist there.

Residenzplatz war auch leer. Fast niemand zu sehen, nur ein paar Leute die beim Jogging waren. War der einzige Tourist da.

I was happy to see a few blooming magnolias on the way back to the hotel.

I enjoyed this visit even if it felt very weird. It also has its advantages, because nobody bothered you and you can have your peace of mind, it is ideal for photographers because such opportunities are rare.

Ich war froh noch ein paar Magnolien auf dem Weg zurück ins Hotel zu sehen.

Ich habe diesen Besuch genossen, auch wenn es sich sehr komisch anfühlte. Es hat auch seine Vorteile, weil man wird von niemanden gestört und man kann seine Ruhe haben, für Fotografen ist es optimal, weil solche Chancen sind eher selten.

Very calm, indeed. Here too (Spain) zero or very little tourism, so different then the other years.
I see you are from Munich, and just have to say how much I like your city!! We spent a few days there three years ago, stayed with a friend of ours and we loved it so much. Everything. Englischer Garten, City centre, Nymphenburg Palace, river Isar, the churches, Marienplatz... we loved even the metro hahahhah. And the rain in July :D

How weird it must be to be the only tourist around. Plus with the curfew and always on the run... I'm glad for you that you enjoyed the visit even in these conditions.

You said these conditions are ideal for photographers. They are probably good opportunities for sightseeing locations that are always very crowded, if they are open and restrictions in that country aren't so bad.

Ohne Menschen kann man viel schönere Fotos machen und alles entspannt und in Ruhe genießen. Sehr schön ;)

Ja schade, dass die Ausgangssperre Dir ein paar schöne Abende nicht gegönnt hat. Trotzdem hast Du für uns einen tollen Post mitgebracht!

Danke!
