Early hikes lead us upward, toward the peaks. The alpine pastures lie quiet and peaceful \u2013 cows, sheep, and horses are still in the valleys. High above, the last remnants of winter snow sparkle, and icy winds still whip around the summits.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"671\">Anyone planning to hike the stunning viewpoint mountains of SalzburgerLand at this time should take a few things into account, as Barbara Hinterseer, certified hiking guide from Maria Alm, explains: \u201cWhen choosing your gear, remember that even if the temperatures in the valleys are warm enough for a t-shirt, higher elevations can still have winter conditions. Waterproof boots with a good tread are essential, and long pants are recommended. Anyone who has walked through a crusty snowfield with bare calves and ended up with cuts from sharp ice edges knows why. A warm jacket, extra clothing, gloves, and a hat should accompany your food, tea, and first aid kit in your backpack. And of course, don\u2019t forget sunglasses and sunscreen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"584837-1\" class=\"gallery gallery-584837 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-1170_658\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"gallery-row gallery-col-3 gallery-clear\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"gallery-item col-3\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/leierhof_18-300x225-1.jpg\" title=\"Wildflowers in Spring\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-title=\"Wildflowers in Spring\" title=\"Wildflowers in Spring\" data-caption=\"Wildflowers in Spring\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/leierhof_18-300x225-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1170_658 size-1170_658\" alt=\"Wildflowers in the foreground with green hills and distant snow-capped mountains under a blue sky.

Crampons, chains with spikes that attach easily to your boots and provide excellent grip on ice, as well as hiking poles, are essential gear for safe mountain hikes at this time of year. Wherever possible, however, snow fields and icy streams should be avoided altogether.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"825\">Freshly melted snow makes mountain slopes wet and slippery, and these damp layers of soil can still be icy in the morning. When planning your route, keep in mind that north facing trails through steep gullies may still be covered in old snow well into early summer. As the day warms up after midday, it is also important to be aware of the risk of avalanches from higher elevations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_579725\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579725\" class=\"size-1170_658 wp-image-579725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ortsubersicht-alba-c-tvb-forstau-5-1170x658.jpg\" alt=\"View of Forstau\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ortsubersicht-alba-c-tvb-forstau-5-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ortsubersicht-alba-c-tvb-forstau-5-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-579725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of Forstau with flower meadow (c) TVB Forstau<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"87\">The Living Room of Wildlife<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"442\">Even though the mountains are often empty in spring and no grazing livestock can be found on the alpine pastures yet, the forests and alpine habitats are particularly sensitive at this time of year. Professional hunter Christoph Burgstaller from Uttendorf, hunting course instructor and spokesperson for the initiative \u201cRespect Your Limits,\u201d explains:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"882\">Nature provides space for everyone and for all recreational activities. But the current strong desire to be in the mountains calls for a little restraint and respect. When we go on our beautiful mountain hikes, we are entering the living space of wild animals, and we must always keep that in mind and respect it. Our local forest inhabitants need areas to retreat to, just as we enjoy peace and quiet in our own living rooms at home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1333\">In spring, many animals are in the middle of mating season. From late winter into spring, capercaillie and black grouse search for their mating grounds and are extremely sensitive to disturbance there. Deer and red deer have young starting in May, and fox cubs leave their dens at this time. These nurseries must not be disturbed. That is why in spring it is especially important: keep dogs on a leash, stay on the trails, and enjoy the silence!\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_584852\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-584852\" class=\"wp-image-584852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1.jpg\" alt=\"A large brown deer with antlers stands in a grassy field, looking towards the camera.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1-370x206.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1-270x150.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1-540x300.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/spurensucher-hirsch-1-1024x569-1-150x83.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-584852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deer<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"118\">Hiking Tips for Spring Adventures<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"629\">In the sunny valleys of SalzburgerLand, the scent of spring fills the air, and summer vibes are already starting to appear\u2014but hikers may still find themselves briefly returning to winter conditions on their trails. All the more wonderful is the feeling of coming back to the warmth of the valley after this short visit to snow and ice, and perhaps even ending the day in perfect silence by one of SalzburgerLand\u2019s beautiful lakes.<\/p>\n<h4>To the M\u00fcllerfuchs in Leogang<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"470\">A perfect first hike to get a few active meters after winter is the charming short walk to the M\u00fcllerfuchs. Perched at 1,000 meters above Leogang, this wooden fox tells an old, eerie legend. In 2009, Ulrich St\u00f6ckl brought the story to life as an art installation in the form of a Pinzgau-style fence, and the M\u00fcllerfuchs has since become a popular hiking destination.According to legend, a sinful miller was reborn as a fox after his death, spreading fear with his haunting cries. Only after his widow made a pilgrimage to Maria Kirchental in St. Martin bei Lofer did the M\u00fcllerfuchs find peace. Today, hikers can approach it without fear and enjoy the wonderful view over the center of Leogang. Fascinatingly, after dark the M\u00fcllerfuchs lights up and is visible across the village throughout the night.The roughly 90-minute hike starts from the Steinbergstadion. Follow the forest path after the Sinning railway underpass, marked by yellow signs. The route can be extended, for example, to the idyllic Lettlkaser Hut at 1,440 meters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1271\"><strong data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1157\">Start:<\/strong> Steinbergstadion, Leogang<br data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1186\"><strong data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1199\">Duration:<\/strong> approx. 90 minutes<br data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1221\"><strong data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1234\">Distance:<\/strong> 4.5 km \u2013 226 meters elevation gain<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"584837-2\" class=\"gallery gallery-584837 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-1170_658\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"gallery-row gallery-col-3 gallery-clear\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"gallery-item col-3\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/muellerfuchs-weg-wald-300x169-1.jpg\" title=\"muellerfuchs (c) christoph dum\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-title=\"muellerfuchs (c) christoph dum\" title=\"muellerfuchs (c) christoph dum\" data-caption=\"muellerfuchs (c) christoph dum\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/muellerfuchs-weg-wald-300x169-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1170_658 size-1170_658\" alt=\"Adult and child holding hands, walking on a forest path marked with a red and white sign on a tree.

Even the benches are creatively designed to match the theme.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"383\" data-end=\"800\">Local Lungau artist and forest educator Reinhard Simb\u00fcrger not only crafted the benches but also carved and painted life size wooden birds that bring the trail to life.

Here, you can watch nature slowly come to life. While spring has arrived in the valleys, snow still glistens down from the peaks. Majestic swans glide across the lake, and beneath the surface, plenty of trout can be seen. A flat gravel path circles the lake, mostly through forest, with reeds along the shore providing nesting spots for local water birds. The trail is also easy for children. Early in the year, it\u2019s worth noting this destination for summer too, as rowboats are available at the nearby J\u00e4gerwirt inn, perfect for leisurely paddling on the lake.Those wanting a longer hike can continue from the end of J\u00e4gersee up to the idyllic Tappenkarsee, the largest mountain lake in the Eastern Alps.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"1015\"><strong data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"928\">Start:<\/strong> Parking lot directly at the lake<br data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"964\"><strong data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"977\">Duration:<\/strong> approx. 1 hour<br data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"995\"><strong data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1008\">Distance:<\/strong> 2 km<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99519\" style=\"width: 1110px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99519\" class=\"size-1170_658 wp-image-99519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rs942_as_4657_1-scr-1100x658.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 SalzburgerLand Tourismus - Ideenwerk werbeagentur Gmbh - Bergsee vor Berkulisse\" width=\"1100\" height=\"658\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-99519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 SalzburgerLand Tourismus Ideenwerk werbeagentur Gmbh \u2013 mountain lake<\/p><\/div>\n<h4 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"32\">Bl\u00fchnbach Valley in Werfen<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"34\" data-end=\"238\">Anyone heading into Bl\u00fchnbach Valley is walking in the footsteps of history.

A road leads from here to Bl\u00fchnbach Castle, built between 1603 and 1607 by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau. The hike begins at the former ironworks in Tenneck. Passing beautiful farmhouses, hunting lodges, and forestry buildings, the route follows the crystal clear Bl\u00fchnbach stream along the lower Bl\u00fchnbach road all the way to the head of the valley.

The well maintained path leads along the shoreline, through small wooded sections and open lakeside stretches, offering ever changing perspectives of the surrounding mountains. With its gentle terrain, the nearly 11 kilometer route is enjoyable and varied, and the distance seems to pass quickly as you soak in the peaceful atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"784\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"640\">Start and Finish:<\/strong> Village center of Fuschl am See, where parking is available<br data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"703\"><strong data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"716\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Duration:<\/strong> approx. 3 hours, depending on fitness level<br data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"763\"><strong data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"776\">Distance:<\/strong> 10.8 km<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"584837-4\" class=\"gallery gallery-584837 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-1170_658\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"gallery-row gallery-col-3 gallery-clear\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"gallery-item col-3\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fuschlsee00008-1920x1067.jpg\" title=\"Fuschlsee00008\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-title=\"\u00a9 SalzburgerLand Tourismus - Peter Zeitlhofer - Wonderful summer houses along the route\" title=\"\u00a9 SalzburgerLand Tourismus - Peter Zeitlhofer - Wonderful summer houses along the route\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 SalzburgerLand Tourismus - Peter Zeitlhofer - Wonderful summer houses along the route\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fuschlsee00008-1170x658.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1170_658 size-1170_658\" alt=\"A lakeside cabin surrounded by trees with sailboats moored by the shore under a partly cloudy sky.
