Lakes, mountains, and green expanses – experience the Salzkammergut

Of lakes and mountains…

The Salzkammergut is a natural jewel that has captivated artists, emperors, and travelers for centuries. With its crystal-clear lakes, majestic mountain ranges, and gentle alpine pastures, the region offers an unparalleled backdrop for outdoor experiences and recreation.

Whether on the Wolfgangsee, Traunsee, or Attersee – mountains are reflected in the water everywhere, and everywhere you will find resting places, panoramic trails, and charming towns. The lakes invite you to swim, stand-up paddleboard, or go boating. All around, cycle paths and hiking trails provide opportunities for exercise in nature.

The famous “Sommerfrische” (summer retreat) concept lives on here to this day: a feeling of life made up of lightness, deceleration, and closeness to nature. At the same time, the Salzkammergut presents itself as a modern cultural region – for example, with the Salzwelten Hallstatt, the Lehár Festival Bad Ischl, or current art projects on the lakes.

Those seeking freedom will find it here between water, meadows, and forests.
