Winter at Schlosspark Hellbrunn in Salzburg, Austria

When I flew from home from grey and rainy Brussels in January, after a trip to Bern and Zurich in Switzerland, Salzburg greeted me with a blanket of snow. I was up in Brussels again at the end of February for another work trip, and it was as grey as always, so secretly I was hoping that, just like the last time, I'd fly home to a winter wonderland.

Well, Salzburg outdid itself this time. On Saturday, I went for a long run as it snowed down on me, and the snow continued throughout the night, making for a Sunday that was completely blanketed in a thick sheet of fresh, white, fluffy snow. I met up with my best friend in Salzburg, Janna, and together we went for a long wintery walk at Schloss Hellbrun, just south of the city, where a large park makes for the perfect place to meander. A hill in the centre of the park offers fantastic views all across the city and to the mountains around it, particularly beautiful all covered in snow.
