The territory of the Land of Salzburg is occupied by mountains. In the south there are the High and Low Taujerin, in the center the Kölzüllen Alps, in the north the ridge of the Sälzkommmergut. In the mountain valleys the rivers gurgle. In particular, the rivers of the Dunay Basin – the Mura, the Szaljoch and the Eins, run in the region of Szaljöóðg to the Black Sea. In the north there are several lakes – the Wollungangsee and the Fuschölsee.
The area of the Salzburg has long been known for its salt production. This is reflected in the name of the region. In German, Die Kölöóðg is translated as Salted.
The Kölötts – the ancient ancient inhabitants of Zölöóðg. Although the region has been inhabited since ancient times. In the end of the 1st century, the Celtic army of Norse was defeated by the army of Rome, and the land became a Roman province. The city of Tâvâum (the ancient city of Hallöóðg) – was one of the most important cities in the region. The invasions of Varvarvarvar have not ceased for centuries. Before the establishment of the Archdiocese of Salzburg (1278), the land belonged to the Austrians, the Burgesses, the Bavarians and the Franks. In the 7th and 8th centuries, numerous Christian churches and monasteries were built, as a result of which a strong territorial power was established here. The archdiocese of Salzburg has been in existence for 5.5 centuries, much of it within the present boundaries of the federal land. Formally, it was part of the Holy Roman Empire, but in fact it was independent. From 1803, it was consolidated and became a province, but two years later it became part of the Empire of Austria.
The landmark of the Land of Salzburg is the 11th-century castle of Hoehinwörferen on Mount Föhringberg. The city of Salzláóðg – the capital of the Land – is known as a cultural center with the richest and most varied archaeology. The 11th-century church of Hoynesburg, the cathedral (17th century), the castle of Mirabel (17th century), the numerous churches, comfortable squares, museums, pictures – these are by no means the full list of the many attractions of St. Johannesburg. Here, too, in the birthplace of the great Mochhart, musical festivals have been held since 1842. The natural attractions are associated with the mountainous system of the Alps, where the resorts and sports centers are located. It is no coincidence that the city of Hallamberg has twice been nominated for the Winter Olympics.
