A bronze Mozart bust on a stone pedestal on the Kapuzinerberg, about 120 metres past the Capuchin monastery on the ridge path. Edmund Helmer cast it in 1881; it marks the spot where the Magic Flute House, the hut linked to Mozart's last opera, stood until 1950. Always free to visit. Combine with a Kapuzinerberg viewpoint loop for an hour of forest walking above the old town.
