Es war sehr interessant, durch die richtige Reiseführerin auch immer wieder unterhaltsam rübergebracht. Dadurch dass die Touristen derzeit eher ausbleiben ist es auch sehr empfehlenswert für uns Salzburger. Kennt ihr die Stadt und ihre Geschichten? Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Tour durch Salzburg

Die Führerin war sehr liebenswürdig und mit österreichischem Dialekt wirklich bezaubernd. Sie hat offen über die Henker, Hexen und Situation der Kirche in Salzburg gesprochen. Dabei haben wir einige wenige Schauplätze besucht und konnten die Stadt auch von ein anderer Seite sehen. Toll!

Eine informative und sehr interessante Führung über die Henker, Hexen und Folterer wie auch Gefolterten aus Salzburgs Mittelalter. Man sollte allerdings auch wissen, daß die Führung nur durch Salzburgs Straßen stattfindet und man nirgends hineingeht...denn Geheimnisse will man ja dann auch von "innen" kennenlernen bzw. erkunden... Trotzdem, Sabine Rath lehrt einen das Gruseln und läßt einen eintauchen ins Mittelalter mit tollen Geschichten und sehr viel Charme...
