#1 Saalbach instead of San Francisco \u2013 The Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps<\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to San Fran\u2026.\u201d, oops, sorry, Saalbach Hinterglemm! And while we\u2019re on the subject of classics, we can also throw in the song \u201cAcross seven bridges you must go\u201d with regard to this photo spot. Whereas, in this case it\u2019s only one. It is located at the end of the Saalbach Hinterglemm valley and owes its name to its similarity with the original in San Francisco. The \u201cGolden Gate Bridge of the Alps\u201d is part of the highest rock hiking trail in Europe. When crossing this bridge at a height of 42 metres, you take one step at a time. If you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to look down, it\u2019s better to concentrate on the surrounding mountain scenery or the treetop path \u2013 the bridge\u2019s destination. They are also ideal as photo models. So, goodbye, San Francisco \u2013 we have our own Golden Gate Bridge! How similar it is to the original, you can see here.<\/p>\n

#2 Mirror, mirror \u2013 capturing reflections in the Wei\u00dfsee glacier world<\/h2>\n

If we were asked for a song that fits the Wei\u00dfsee glacier world in the Hohe Tauern National Park holiday region, then it might be \u201cBlue blooms the gentian\u201d. But it is not the only one who shines in its most beautiful blue up there at over 2,300 metres. The eponymous Wei\u00dfsee lies like a lagoon embedded in the surrounding mountains and attracts everyone\u2019s attention with its strong turquoise colour. The Wei\u00dfsee Glacier World can be reached either by hiking or comfortably with the gondola from the Enzingerboden valley station. Once at the top, you are spoilt for choice with hikes through a mystical forest, around the Wei\u00dfsee or to one of the neighbouring peaks. And regardless of which version you choose, they are all photogenic. By the way, if you are after a bit of gentian as mentioned at the beginning, you can drive to the nearby Habach Valley, hike along the Emerald Way and finally stop in the Enzian Hut. So, goodbye everyday life, and hello Wei\u00dfsee Glacier World!<\/p>\n

#3 A natural beauty \u2013 The Rieding Valley Nature Reserve<\/h2>\n

Typical Alpine plants, such as the Gentian or the Almrausch, also grow in the picturesque Rieding Valley in Salzburg\u2019s Lungau region. Once you cross the border to the municipality of Zederhaus, you can dive deep into the 36 km\u00b2 nature reserve. Here, Mother Nature has all the pieces: from wild game to high peaks, gentle valleys and clear mountain lakes that exude a charm to which you will immediately succumb. If you, quite understandably, don\u2019t know where to see or go first, then it\u2019s best to try one of the three themed hiking trails. One of these leads around Lake Schlierersee, one tells of life and work on the alpine pasture in the past and also today, while the third deals thematically with the power of still waters and crosses several transitions from the Rieding Valley, which in bygone times were important connections for this remote valley end to the outside world. By the way, when hiking in the Rieding Valley Nature Reserve, you are never alone as the protected area is a habitat for many endangered plants. Along with rare birds, such as the Golden Eagle or the Buzzard who are also at home in the Rieding Valley. Here, you can convince yourself of the beauty of the Rieding Valley.<\/p>\n

#4 Of fabulous lacquers and rare mosses \u2013 pure nature on the Gerzkopf<\/h2>\n

Rare animals and plants can also be found in the Gerzkopf nature reserve in St. Martin am Tennengebirge. They prefer to stay there around the \u201cSchwarze Lacke\u201d (moor lake), which is found on the Gerzkopf moors. Once there, you can choose your favourite photo spot from the reflection in the lake, the Bischofsm\u00fctze mountain in the distance or the striking bell at the summit. By the way, the latter is also the reason for the regular bell noise that accompanies you on the way to the Gerzkopf. However, it is also said up here that you should not make too much noise, as then with a little luck you might even glimpse a Capercaillie or be able to count the many dragonflies on the lake. By the way, there is a mysterious legend around the \u201cSchwarze Lacke\u201d, but what exactly is it? To find out, you have to visit it and read the whole thing on an information board on-site. The Gerzkopf is one of the seven most beautiful peaks in the Salzburger Sports World. Which other ones belong to it, we show you here.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
