Tour Details and Description
Ragged peaks tower next to lovely, forest covered hills, both hiding away idyllic mountain lakes. Stop and look around–take in breathtaking scenery and unspoiled nature. Our trekking route crosses the Austrian Salzkammergut from West to East. Ten more or less famous lakes such as lake Wolfgangsee, Mondsee,Irrsee and Fuschlsee are part of this amazing tour. Stop at some of the best known highlights of the region: the White Horse Inn in St. Wolfgang, the Imperial summer residence in Bad Ischl and the most beautiful place on a lake Hallstatt are unforgettable highlights during your hike. A special excursion dips into the lovely Ausseerland, a gem of the Salzkammergut where time seems to pass slower than everywhere else.
