Trail Running
Running has blossomed into a popular sport in Austria. Salzkammergut has been gaining a foothold as one of the sport's meccas.
It’s easy to see why: This scenic area is a natural year-round playground with its crisp mountain air, crystal clear lakes and lush emerald forests.
There are trails to hit every day whether it's a demanding mountain track or a relaxed trail following the headwater of a river. Wherever you go, take some quiet time listening to nature and absorbing the magnificent scenery.
If you enjoy running or walking and sometimes need to escape the perils of pavement pounding, this site may help you find some alternative places to exercise throughout Salzkammergut Lake District.
