Oberndorf bei Salzburg
Austria
"Silent Night" was first performed in Oberndorf bei Salzburg in 1818, at the Nikolauskirche, making this tiny Austrian town on the River Salzach a draw for anyone tracing the carol's origins. It sits just north of the City of Salzburg, facing the Bavarian town of Laufen across the water, with mountain terrain in the surrounds and a compact centre with cafés and restaurants.
