Altstadt (Old Town)

I haven't posted much about the old town yet. It is a very facinating place

 The boats laden with salt would come down the river and stop in the town.  The river is the Salt River...or Salzach

 There are many different styles of houses and buildings and from many different time periods.

 This church has beautiful bells.  Austria is across the river...you can see a city called Ach

I'll post more about this part of the Altstadt later...It is in a part called In Den Gruben...it is a narrow strip of a street with a "tunnel-like" feel that has housed artisans and their shops for many generations.  Above is a man working late into the night creating musical instruments. Deborah and I stood in the cold night air and watched him until we began to feel guilty! I'm going to make a special trip to take some pics to post here...but it will take several posts to do it justice. It's absolutely amazing.
