Culture in Bad Ischl?

Imperial villa and Zaunerstollen? That's what Bad Ischl is known for, but the town has even more to offer. For a refreshing dip, you can swim in the Ischl or the Traun, whose clear waters provide refreshment.

A relaxing forest walk to Lauffen invites you to enjoy the fresh air and calming atmosphere of the forest. A visit to the museum offers interesting insights into the history and culture of the region. All these activities offer a wonderful opportunity to escape from everyday life and recharge your batteries. A trip to the local mountain Katrin is recommended for all those who long for the mountains. Those who reach the summit will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view.

Biking in the Dachstein-Salzkammergut holiday region

The Dachstein-Salzkammergut region is a true paradise for cycling and culture lovers. The latter can experience the fascinating show businesses or local crafts directly in the region.

Another highlight is exploring the surrounding area on gravel bike tours or testing your skills on the trail in Obertraun. The landscape is characterised by impressive mountain panoramas and idyllic lakes that invite you to take a dip in the cool water. Whether in Lake Hallstatt or the Gosau lakes - a refreshing dip rounds off the sporting experience perfectly.

SUP on Lake Fuschl

Have you ever had the pleasure of stand-up paddling on Lake Fuschl? Imagine gliding gently over the glistening water, surrounded by the backdrop of the mountains, while the peaceful silence of nature envelops you.

A sunset hike up the Ellmaustein is the ideal activity to round off a summer's day in style. The short but rewarding ascent of 300 metres in altitude and 2.8 kilometres takes you to a viewpoint with a breathtaking panorama.

Do you prefer a more leisurely pace? You can also enjoy the sunset right by the lake in one of the restaurants.

Nature and city strolls in the Traunsee-Almtal region

How about a one-hour lake cruise? Or would you prefer to hire your own boat to cruise around Austria's deepest lake? A tour on the lake is ideal for seeing the surroundings and majestic mountains from a different perspective.

After a refreshing trip on the lake, it's time to take a stroll through the town. In Gmunden's pedestrianised zone, you will find shops, cute cafés and numerous restaurants. Along the lakeside promenade, cafés and restaurants invite you to linger or offer cool refreshments such as ice cream.

Those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city will find peace and quiet in the Almtal. The first European Waldness destination makes the hearts of nature lovers beat faster. Forest bathing is a wonderful way to relax and experience nature on a whole new level.
