Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Many small towers and steep roofs
Round towers, pointed roofs and turrets crowd the top of the ring wall. Print friendly adapts these small parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print with fine layers.
- Tall walls on a steep hill
The fortress sits on a steep, uneven slope with high retaining walls. A layer height of 0.12-0.16 mm keeps the stepped wall lines crisp, and slow printing helps the thin tower tops.

About Hohensalzburg Fortress
Hohensalzburg Fortress, known in German as Festung Hohensalzburg, is a big medieval stronghold in Salzburg, Austria. It crowns a mountain called the Festungsberg, at an altitude of 506 m, and the prince-archbishops of Salzburg had it built. It extends 250 m (820 ft) in length with a width of 150 m (490 ft), so it counts among the largest medieval castles of Europe.
The present fortress dates its start to 1077, when Archbishop Gebhard von Helfenstein began it as a plain bailey with a timber wall. It was enlarged gradually over the centuries that followed. Burkhard II von Weißpriach, a prince-archbishop, had the ring walls and towers put up in 1462, and Prince-Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach added to it again from 1495 until 1519. The outer bastions were begun in the 16th century and finished in the 17th, as a precaution against fears of a Turkish invasion.
The fortress was besieged just once, in 1525 during the German Peasants' War, and was not taken. It was handed to French troops without a fight in 1800. In the 19th century it served as barracks, a storage depot and a dungeon, and it ceased to be a military outpost in 1861. A funicular railway, the Festungsbahn, opened in 1892 and runs up from the town. The Krautturm houses a large aerophone of more than 200 pipes, the "Salzburg Bull", built in 1502.
