April 5, 2025,Spaziergang zur Burg Hohenwerfen und einen kurzen Abstecher in den Ort Werfen
Today I accompanied my sister to a presentation for the performance "The Uprising" 500 Years of the Salzburg Peasants' War at Hohenwerfen Castle. The idea was to participate as an extra in the performance on June 21, 2025, at the castle 😀.
It was quite interesting 😄
