Mauterndorf

Mauterndorf is best known within Salzburg for Mauterndorf Castle, a medieval fortress that served as a toll station on the route across the Radstädter Tauern. The market town lies in the Lungau region beside the Taurach, in a high Alpine basin framed by the Radstädter Tauern. Its name recalls the toll, or Maut, once paid by merchants here, while the castle was later used by Salzburg’s prince-archbishops as a summer residence. The compact centre and castle museum recall the settlement’s role on historic Alpine trading routes.
