Staying in Nonntal, Salzburg
Use the fortress hill as your reference point in Nonntal. Streets along its base lead toward Kajetanerplatz, while routes toward Nonnberg climb above the houses. Accommodation farther south can feel quite separate from the old town's pedestrian lanes, so measure walking distances from the actual property. The approach via Nonntaler Hauptstraße is useful for everyday journeys; the hillside paths suit a slower outing.
