If you're planning on visiting the delightful country of Austria on a walking holiday, consider the scenic walk around the fabulous region of Salzkammergut and Salzburg, made famous by the movie Sound of Music. Walking in Austria will never be more delightful, where cliffs and steep rocks hug lush green mountains, hidden mountain lakes glisten in hues of blue and green, and the scenic delights will take your breath away.
For this tour you will arrive at Abersee. Take some time to take in the sights around your hotel and get used to the local weather before resting up for the energetic pursuits of your adventure walking in Austria.
You'll begin early, by taking a boat ride to St. Wolfgang. From here, you will set off on a picturesque hike on the Sattelweg to the picturesque Lake Schwarzensee, where you can stop for a rest in a hut that serves fresh homemade cakes. Have you ever tried Guglhupf oder the famous Austrian strudel? There are different delicious stuffings like apple, cherry or plum. From here, you'll descend to the valley through a gorge to the lake promenade of Strobl. Take some time to walk around this area and appreciate the raw beauty of nature here.
Walking in Austria gives you a feeling of serenity and peace that perhaps no other destination truly can. As you walk along the promenade of Bad Ischl early in the morning, this feeling is magnified. Continue on to the village of Lauffen and, from here, you will head to a path cut right into the rocks - this is called the Ewige Wand, which means the 'eternal wall'. Along this path you can continue on to the Predigtstuhl Mountain before making your descent to Bad Goisern, where you can spend the night.
The next day, your route will take you through various alpine pastures and high plateaus until you reach the gorgeous Ausseer Land. Here you will see the Blaa Alm - the largest Alpine pasture and one that is filled with a profusion of wild flowers every spring and summer. Spend a rejuvenating day in this relaxing pasture - perhaps enjoy a picnic lunch and revel in the pleasant weather and beautiful scenery here.Walking in Austria is a truly great way to experience the beauty the country has to offer. The experiences that you have when you discover a place like this on foot are like no other.
