Salzburg (Region) Austria

Salzburg is a region of Austria. Its official name is Land Salzburg, but it's also informally known as Salzburgerland, to differentiate it from its namesake capital city, Salzburg. This makes it the only region in Austria named after its capital city. Salzburg's unique history as an independent Prince-Bishopric means its traditions are distinct from other Austrian regions. The Salzburg region extends along its main river, the Salzach, which flows from the Central Eastern Alps in the south - reaching a peak of 3,657 meters (11,998 feet) at the Großvenediger mountain - and descends into the Alpine foothills in the north. The southern part of the region is characterized by the main ranges of the Alpine divide, which includes numerous mountains over three thousand meters high.
