Salzburg-Umgebung District Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Untersberg Of Salzburg Austria

#2024wish It was winter when I was in Salzburg Austria. One of the most memorable moments from this trip was the time spent in top of Untersberg. My wife held my hand while we walked slowly in the thick snow on top of the mountain. We didn't walk too far as the visibility was low. However, we took some great photos. In 2024, I hope to visit Mount Fuji in Tokyo Japan as it has been my dream for so many years. I hope to enjoy the snow there too.

Untersberg

When we were travelling in Salzburg, we got the Salzburg card which entitled us to visit a lot of places for free. Untersberg was one of such places. Untersberg is a mountain in Salzburg. I always love to view snowy mountains. Thus, I was thrilled that Untersberg was one of the places covered by the Salzburg card. We took the cable up to the peak and took a small walk over there. The weather was not so good and thus we did not have a good view of the surroundings. However, it was fun walking around in the snow on the mountain.

On the top of the Alps, there is still unmelted snow. In order to hold the snow in person, we took the cable car to the Winter Mountain in the morning. Asian days go to Salzburg, usually the trip is placed in the Mozart house, the food alley. As everyone knows, Winter Mountain is the first attraction of Salzburg on the cat eagle. Looking at the distant mountains and mists, the green mountains and white snow, isnt it better than being lost in the alleys? If you are ready for mountaineering equipment, there are several mature walking routes for people who love outdoor hiking to conquer.

Exploring A Zoo In Winter

When you are travelling to Salzburg Austria, I suggest that you get the Salzburg card as it entitles you to free entry to quite a number of places of interest. It is really quite worth it. That's what we did when we were in Salzburg. Hellbrunn Zoo is one of the places covered by the card. Thus, off we went. It was certainly quite nice exploring the zoo during winter times. Due to the winter, not many animals are out.

Hiking in the Austrian countryside

A mountain with lots of possibilities: hiking, paragliding, mountain biking. The new gondolas offer pleasant comfort, a fantastic view and adequate space. Therefore the Zwölferhorn is barrier-free and suitable for families with children. In just 11 minutes, the new cable car conquers the 908 meters of altitude to the top of St. Gilgen's backyard mountain. if taking the cable car is not for you. the hike is easily doable. From the bottom to the top, it will take about 1 hour. once at the top you can eat at the restaurant and marvel at the incredible Austrian countryside. I would recommend hiking up and taking the cable car down to experience everything.

Scharfberg , Austria

Schafberg is a mountain in the Austrian state of Salzburg. Situated within the Salzkammergut Mountains range of the Northern Limestone Alps, the Schafberg rises 1,783m from the shore of Wolfgangsee Lake. To get to the top, you have to take an amazing steep cogwheel ride. There is a lovely restaurant at the top where you can sit down at the balcony for a meal or drinks and take in all the amazing breathtaking views of the gorgeous Austrian alps. There are no atm or credit card machines at Scharfberg so be sure to bring enough cash for the restaurant.

St. Wolfgang, also located in the Austrian Lake District, is not as familiar as Hallstatt in the country. Although it is located near Hallstatt, there is no noisy and crowded Hallstatt. More peace and leisure. St. Wolfgang is not big, the main attraction is the pilgrimage church, White Horse Hotel, Shaf Mountain, and you can walk around the town on foot. Although the town is not big, the scenery is very good. The lake and mountains of the movie "The Sound of Music" is the scene. If you want to appreciate the beauty of St. Wolfgangsee, you must take the steam train to the top of Shaf Mountain, a line that has been in operation since 1893 and is still in the market today. Little train operation time

Xiafu Mountain | The Secret in the Mist At the beginning of October, on the Xiafu Mountain, you need to spell the character. Looking at the weather forecast, it was not hesitant to choose the train that went up the mountain at 9:45. Everything looks good. Tips: The top two-thirds of the view on the left side of the mountain is very good, and the third-third of the view on the right side is good. So don't worry about tangling, just go down the mountain and sit on different sides. The first third of the scenery is good, thinking that you should be able to see the lake today. But by two-thirds of the time, the train was like a fog, and nothing could be seen. The huge loss in the heart is self-evident. When I reached the top of the mountain, the entire Xiafu Mountain was surrounded by mist, and nothing could be seen. As the crowd moves toward the viewpoint, although it is fog, but it is still a glance. At this time, there was a gust of wind. In the changing clouds, the clouds slowly spread out, revealing a small lake with a big sun. All things happen only within five minutes. Great joy after the great sadness!

The town of St. Gilgen, a small town in the Austrian Lake District, in the small town of St. Wolfgang, surrounded by St. Wolfgangsee, home to the music prodigy Mozart's mother, his mother and sister used to Live here. The walls of the town are painted with lovely murals on the walls, and the walls are painted in colorful fairy tales. Transportation: On the pier of the town of St. Wolfgang, you can take a ferry to get there, a round trip of 15.2 euros, one-and-a-half-hour one-way ride, you can also take a tour of St. Wolfgangsee by the ferry, very comfortable. . Because there are very few tours, it is quiet and comfortable, the most famous is the St. Gilgen City Hall, which is also full of art. After a long walk here, the buildings in the whole town are especially suitable for taking pictures. Afternoon tea in the cafe, walk around the local hand-painted shop, anyway, girls like it.
