Summer vacation in the Salzburg Lake District Scenic beauty & closeness to nature
Here the name says it all! The four idyllically situated lakes of Mattsee, Grabensee, Obertrumer See and Wallersee boast drinking water quality and a wide range of water sports. Take a trip on the Seenland boat tour, take a sailing course or relax in one of the well-kept lidos.
In addition to the lakes, the gentle hills are also characteristic of the lake district and a true paradise for cyclists. From April to October, there are ideal conditions for racing cyclists or leisure cyclists who can discover the Salzburg Lake District all the way to the Salzkammergut or neighboring Bavaria on two wheels.
The Salzburg Lake District is part of the organic hay region and is good soil for medicinal and culinary herbs. Take part in guided herb hikes or go foraging yourself with your eyes wide open. Your hosts will also be happy to share a family recipe or two with you.
Winter vacation in the Salzburg Lake District Peace and relaxation at the gates of the festival city of salzburg
The Salzburg Lake District is not a typical winter holiday region, but that is exactly what makes it so fascinating if you are looking for peace and relaxation.
Extensive winter hikes or snowshoe hikes along the lakes and through the gentle hilly landscape offer the opportunity to unwind. In the towns of Obertrum, Straßwalchen, Köstendorf, Mattsee and Schleedorf, cross-country ski trails await you and several ice rinks offer fun for the whole family.
You can reach the Mozart city of Salzburg with its cultural treasures in just 20 minutes by car. Even in winter, it's worth taking a stroll through the Mirabell Gardens or looking out over the city from the Festungsberg!
3 things you should definitely do in the Salzburg Lake District 1. a trip on the lake district boat tour
You can marvel at the beautiful landscape of the lake district from the water on a leisurely round trip.
The tour boat "Seenland" is 12 meters long, made of wood and offers space for up to 50 people. It is powered by two electric motors.
Incidentally, the "Seenland" is the only ship in Austria that sails on two lakes at once: Lake Mattsee and Lake Obertrum. To get from one to the other, the "Seenland" has to pass the Johannisbrücke bridge. To make this possible, the roof of the ship is lowered hydraulically each time. So don't forget to keep your head down!
2. pay a visit to the Teufelsgraben in Seeham
The Teufelsgraben in Seeham is a popular recreational area for locals and guests. In summer there is a weekly legend hike.
The Teufelsgraben can be hiked at any time in 2 hours and is 2.5 km long, even without a guide. This nature adventure trail with 17 information stations is a great hiking tip for families with small children, especially on hot summer days or in the fall.
On the way through the romantic gorge, you pass the Wildkar waterfall and a mill where marble balls are still made today.
3. take a look into space at the VEGA observatory
The public VEGA observatory on the Haunsberg in Obertrum has been open since 2018 and aims to get as many people as possible interested in astronomy and space research.
Two high-performance reflector telescopes and visitor terraces on the roof of the building await anyone who would like to take a closer look at the universe.
As a special feature, there is a star tour every Monday, which includes a visit with a short lecture and a view through the telescope.
