The Salzkammergut from its most beautiful sides
Gentle hikes, walks to feel good and experience the Salzkammergut from the most beautiful sides.
- including a cozy hut evening
Discover the Katrin, Ischl's local mountain, hike along the eastern shore of Lake Hallstatt, through the Blinklingmoos, one of the most beautiful moors in Austria and on the beautiful Bürglstein Panoramaweg in Strobl and around the Langbathseen near Ebensee, two real natural jewels.
The Salzkammergut offers a variety of options for walking paths and easy hikes, which do not have any significant vertical meters and are therefore too easy to master. Take your time and sit down on a bench. Enjoy the fresh air. Consider beautiful view.
In between, a boat trip on Lake Traun, a visit to an imperial summer residence and a visit to various traditional businesses round off the program. The perfect combination of gentle hiking & sightseeing!

On the way to the Hinterer Langbathsee you overcome a step in the terrain on the ascending forest road. The lake, in which the surrounding mountains of the Höllengebirge are reflected, offers an impressive motif. After a loop around the Hinterer Langbathsee you hike back on the forest road to the Vorderer Langbathsee.

From the front to the rear Langbathsee and back approx. 2 hours
Around both Langbathseen approx. 2.5 hours
