Festung Hohensalzburg, dating from 1077, Schloss Mirabell and Schloss Leopoldskron all stand within 1 km of the center of Salzburg; Schloss Anif is 6 km out and Schloss Kleßheim 3 km from Freilassing. Beyond the city, Schloss Fuschl is 16 km away, and further south the state has Festung Hohenwerfen (26 km from Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer), Schloss Goldegg (22 km), Schloss Fischhorn (16 km) and Burg Klammstein (24 km).
Of the 76 castles and palaces RLQuest knows in Salzburg, 72 have a Wikipedia article, all but four. The list is short, but almost every entry on it is accounted for. RLQuest's daily quests include walking to places like these; a palace in the city is a quick one, a fortress in the mountains less so, and the map fills in hex by hex either way.
Every dot is a place. The numbers mark the highlights listed below.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
