Another highlight from user 'Peter F.' offers a very similar perspective of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, perched high on the cliff above the city (if you're interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6499548 ). The night shots he uploaded there demonstrate in a completely different, very impressive way how the imposing structure shapes the cityscape, viewed from the riverbank.
