Next morning, before checking out I tried to cram in an ascent of the Kapuzinersberg. It started in a tunnel through the building to its base

and ascended past walls of the cloister built in 1600

signage about its geological formation

and episodes of its history

[Stefan Zweig–Austrian writer and pacifist, lived from 1919 to 1934 with his family at House #5 on this road, left Salzburg after anti-semitic attacks and a politically motivated home search]

and piles of firewood harvested to manage the forest.

Before reaching the summit, I turned back to meet Jan and leave for the  the train station, where I could see it recede.
