Salzburg Lakes
Explore the beauty of Austria’s Lake District on this walking holiday in the Salzkammergut region near Salzburg. Wonderful mountain scenery, pretty villages and alpine lakeside walking make this a marvellous area in which to soak up the sights, relax and unwind.
Visit Mozart’s Village (St Gilgen) and the fantastic UNESCO World Natural Heritage region of Hallstatt with its unique natural landscapes. Sample the local cuisine and enjoy picnic lunches along the lakeside paths on this stunning region just south of Salzburg.
Your holiday starts by the side of Lake Wolfgangsee where you will be based for your first 2 nights, taking the ferry across the lake each day provides a pleasant start and the lakeside walking on these days give wonderful and dramatic views. Visit the ancient imperial summer residence at Bad Ischl and why not relax in a thermal spa on your free day here. The walk heads south to Bad Goisern following the brine pipeline to the UNESCO sight at Hallstatt and returns up to Lake Wolfgangsee to end your journey.
