Talk:Hohenwerfen Castle

Correction to the introductory paragraph regarding the height of the castle above the valley floor
The articles stated that the castle is "situated on a 623-metre (2,044 ft) precipice overlooking the Austrian market town of Werfen". It is possible that the altitude of the castle is 623m - it sounds about right, but I could not verify it from the hyperlink provided as a reference to the altitude; there are other references online to this altitude though. However, it is certainly not next to a 623m precipice - which of course would be down to around sea level. The castle website (https://www.salzburg-burgen.at/en/hohenwerfen-castle/plan-visit/contact/) states that the peak is 155m high, and it would appear to me (both from memory of having been there, and from photos and other media online) to be surrounded by steep hillsides rather than a precipice. I therefore intend to change just the wording regarding the precipice and to refer instead to the altitude of 623m and the 155m height of the peak - these are I think the best estimates I can find (even though other information - eg from Google Earth - doesn't always seem consistent with them).
