Staying in Riedenburg, Salzburg
The Neutor passage is the key to understanding Riedenburg. It cuts through the Mönchsberg toward the old town, so an address west of the ridge need not mean a long detour. Rainberg forms another local landmark, with residential streets between the hills. Before booking, compare the property's route to the tunnel with its route to the nearest bus stop, especially if you expect several trips back during the day.
