From weisswurst to schweinshaxe to käsekuchen -- what are these foods and why should you try them?

On a warm fall day, lining the river were chestnut trees changing colors and some trees even had ripe shiny brown chestnuts peeking through their prickly shells.
Since we only had one full day, we decided on an itinerary of 3 places to visit: the Mozart birth house and museum, Mirabell Palace gardens — one of the many Sound of Music movie location site in Salzburg — and the Fortress Hohensalzburg on the hill…
