To make a day of it
Burg Salzburg stands in Bad Neustadt an der Saale (Landkreis Rhön-Grabfeld), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Perched on a rocky spur in Lower Franconia, Bavaria, Burg Salzburg overlooks Bad Neustadt an der Saale. Construction began around 1170, and the fortress eventually developed into one of central Europe's largest examples of a Ganerbenburg, a stronghold historically divided among multiple noble families. Because portions of the castle remain inhabited today, certain sections stay off-limits to visitors. Visitors are drawn mainly to its medieval fortifications and the panoramic outlook across the Saale valley.

What to know
- Part of the castle is still lived in, so the interior cannot be visited in full.
- It stands roughly a kilometre from the centre of Bad Neustadt, reached by an uphill walk.
- A curved neck-ditch about 160 metres long separates the old fortress from the plateau behind it.
- A large modern clinic complex now stands next to the site, changing the look of the surrounding hillside.
