Sustainable lifestyle by filling up your own drinking bottle
Salzburg’s almost inexhaustible water reservoir is located in the Untersberg near the city. The drinking water in Salzburg is of the very best quality and can be drunk straight from the tap. But pure, untreated water can also be enjoyed from the many drinking water fountains in the city without hesitation. The water quality is constantly checked.
