The Salzkammergut is Austria’s beautiful ‘Lake District’, a relaxing world of magnificent scenery situated less than an hour from Salzburg. Walking and exploring are a joy using the lake steamers or clearly marked trails to delightful ‘jausen station’ mountain huts that offer light meals and breathtaking views. We feature two of the most famous lakes, the beautiful Fuschlsee and the world renowned Wolfgangsee where the historic railway can take you to the top of Schafberg mountain. It is hard to imagine anywhere else in Europe with the same sense of beauty and tranquillity as Austria’s Salzkammergut.
