Here stands a memorial to the freedom campaign in April 1945 with explanatory texts. The foundation walls of the demolished Villa Galitzenstein are also indicated with concrete edges. In between are the pitiful remains of a garden show. The name 'botanical garden' is somewhat exaggerated, as there is not much more to offer than the flower meadow in a roundabout. But in the leafless season, you can see the Salzach Gorge from one corner of the botanical garden.

The Peace Church is very different from the nearby castle grounds: the church is empty and quiet, but was open when we were there. The light switch is in the church room to the left of the entrance door.
