Eisriesenwelt Werfen
The official Eisriesenweltgesellschaft site tells everything you need to know about the caves, including other hiking destinations in the neighborhood.

Hohenwerfen Fortress and Adventure
As you approach Werfen, you'll see this massive castle atop a steep hill in the middle of the valley. The fortress was built in the 11th century; today, it offers guided tours and houses the Salzburg State Falconry Center, which offers daily demonstrations. (The season runs from early April to early November.)

Lonely Planet Austria Map
Werfen is shown as a large dot south of Salzburg. (You really don't need a map to find Werfen; the fortress is hard to miss when you're driving south on the A10 motorway.)
