Fuschlsee region Fancy unspoiled nature, warm hospitality and plenty of adventure for young and old?
What do you want to experience on vacation? The six vacation resorts of Fuschl am See, Faistenau, Hintersee, Hof bei Salzburg, Ebenau and Koppl offer great variety. Perhaps bake bread with the farmers' wives at the Rumingmühle in Fuschl, enjoy freshly caught trout, jump into the Fuschlsee after a strenuous road bike ride, experience the sunrise on the Schober, watch the Jedermann under the 1000-year-old lime tree in Faistenau, explore the Salzkammergut on e-bikes, cool off in the ice chapel in Hintersee on a hot day or take a detour to Salzburg? Or would you prefer to burn off some energy on 140 km of cross-country ski trails in winter, explore the area around Gaißau-Hintersee , race down the toboggan run or - if the weather gods are kind - skate across the frozen Lake Fuschl? You won't want to go home again!

Winter vacation in the Fuschlsee region Winter enjoyment in a natural paradise
The Fuschlsee vacation region is a winter holiday destination for true connoisseurs. Away from the large ski areas in SalzburgerLand, you will find numerous offers for a relaxing or active winter vacation.
In Faistenau and Hintersee, a cross-country skiing paradise is waiting to be discovered thanks to guaranteed snow. Ski tourers and snowshoe hikers can use the former pistes of the Gaissau - Hintersee family ski area and families can enjoy tobogganing fun to the full. Several private ski lifts in Faistenau, Hof bei Salzburg and Koppl round off the offer.
An ice-skating trip across Lake Fuschl is also a special experience. This is not possible every year, but in late January and early February the chances are best.
3 things you should definitely do in the Fuschlsee region 1. cool off at the Plötz waterfall
Anyone can swim in the pleasantly warm waters of Lake Fuschl. However, not everyone dares to cool off in the ice-cold waters of the Plötz near Ebenau on a hot summer's day.
Thestarting point for this refreshing pleasure is Ebenau. Follow the marked mill hiking trail, which takes you past a total of 7 historic mills. The highlight of the approximately two-hour hike is the Plötz waterfall with a total height of 50 meters. Even the toughest of hikers are guaranteed to cool off in the reservoir below.
2. enjoy traditional alpine delicacies
The Fuschlsee vacation region is rich in alpine pastures, many of which are open in summer and offer regional delicacies and family recipes. After hikes of various lengths and levels of difficulty, a snack with homemade cheese and bacon tastes even better. At the designated Holleralmen, everything revolves around elderberries.
3. hike to the ice chapel in Hintersee
The ice chapel in Hintersee is a curious natural spectacle, a miniature glacier, so to speak, at less than 1,000 meters above sea level.
The ice chapel is located in the trench of the Grießbach stream at the foot of the Wieserhörndl and Anzenberg mountains. In winter, the snow masses here fall up to 750 m deep into the trench and become extremely compacted. In spring, when the snow begins to melt, the snow cone is further and further undercut from below, creating a large, chapel-like space.
