The rustling of the leaves,

the smell of hay in your nose, the feeling of the forest that is still wet from the dew on your skin and the view of a picturesque scenery of deep green lakes, majestic mountains and a bright blue sky are all part of the hiking experience in the Salzkammergut. Whether you are a hiking for pleasure or you are an experienced summiteer – here everyone gets their money’s worth and finds one or the other place of happiness along the countless hiking trails.

The Salzkammergut BergeSeen Trail

Many prominent figures have explored this region: nobles like Archduke Johann and Empress Elisabeth, scientists such as Friedrich Simony, poets and authors like Nikolaus Lenau, painters like Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, musicians and composers such as Johannes Brahms. Did they ever think that hiking in the Salzkammergut might have no end?

That they could tramp from one lake to the next and then onward to yet another? Day by day along the shores of crystal-clear waters? Week-long excursions through quiet valley forests, over sunny alpine meadows and up mountains fuelled by the anticipation of the next destination?
