Pinzgau Road (B311)

Salzburg · Austria · Road

On the Pinzgau road a woman in black stops cars at night – warns of an accident, then dissolves into the dark.

Along the B311 highway through the Pinzgau in Salzburg's mountains, drivers have told since the 1980s of an eerie female figure in black at the roadside. She appears out of the darkness, brings cars to a halt and warns the driver of an impending accident – then vanishes without a trace. The accounts mirror the White Woman of the Belchen Tunnel, but inverted: the woman in black seems bent on protecting rather than frightening. Who she is no one knows, though many guess at a road casualty who found no rest on the accident-prone alpine route.
