Salzburg is WH40k!

Some people may come here for the Sound of Music, but with the right perspective, you will have an experience that is quite different. There is enough statuary and temples and whatnot to qualify for a decent shrineworld. If you know where to look, you will find skulls, winged skulls, bat-winged skulls, cherubs resting their feet on skulls, skulls with serpents writhing on and through them, statues of imperial heroes, of imperial saints, of imperial martyrs, of the demon cast down, and sepulchers to satisfy the most ardent of seekers. And, as with all that is holy and pure in the Imperium, the shadow of corruption and madness is never far away, for in a murky niche at the cathedral lurks the awesome coat of peace, an apparition making grown men blanch with fear and revulsion – the Changer of Ways never donned a more fitting mantle.



Salzburg is easily reached from Munich. It takes about two hours by train and, using the Bayernticket, even a destitute pilgrim may gaze upon these dreadful wonders. Highly recommended.
