Summiteers<\/h2>\n

For over 125 years, the historic SchafbergBahn cog railway has been running from St. Wolfgang straight to the top of the 1783 meters-high Schafberg, which, with its striking peak, is one of the most beautiful lookout mountains in all of Austria. The steam-powered cog locomotives carry passengers to the summit in 35 minutes, traveling a total of 1190 vertical meters and 5.85 km on the way there. Even during the ride, you are treated to wonderful views of the Salzkammergut. And once at the top, each of the glistening surrounding lakes vies for your attention, while your eyes are able to roam from the Bohemian Forest in the north to the Alps in the south. On the summit, idyllic hiking paths invite you to enjoy a pleasant walk, while you also have ample opportunity to pause for refreshments as needed.<\/p>\n

Choo-choo train in P\u00f6llatal<\/h2>\n

The P\u00f6llatal valley near the Katschberg Pass near St. Michael im Lungau is a small, but fine nature reserve. Consequently, it has also been closed in the summer months for motorists. The choo-choo train \u2013 which looks as nice as it sounds \u2013 \u201cprevails\u201d since that time. This excursion train for up to 50 people is the only motorised transport system. Once you get away from traffic noise and exhaust gases you can completely concentrate on the leisurely pace and the landscape rolling past. But thanks to crystal-clear mountain lakes and impressive mountain peaks, the P\u00f6llatal is also a good starting point for hikes. Are you in the mood for a culinary delicacy? Anyone who likes to fish is allowed to try their angling luck themselves at the pond near the Kochl\u00f6ffel <\/span>[cooking spoon in German]<\/span> Hut <\/a>and can give their catch to the proprietor for preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steam train on the Taurachbahn railway<\/h2>\n

A genuine steam engine railway<\/a>, and then also riding through a magnificent mountain world \u2013 where is this available nowadays? Very clear: in the Lungau region.

A special advantage for cyclists and families: bicycles and prams can be taken along without any problem, and the journey can be integrated in a day tour. Incidentally, this is especially recommended with the SalzburgerLand Card<\/a><\/span> \u2026<\/p>\n

Boat trip in the Trumer Lake District<\/h2>\n

The three lakes<\/a> known collectively as the Trumer Seen are located in the north of the Flachgau region, and are for many residents of Salzburg they are the perfect place of refugee from the oppressive heat of the city in the summer. Surrounded by gentle hills and linked by means of narrow waterways, the cosy wooden boats can start from the town of Mattsee and also head for Obertrum and Seeham on the other lakes.

Boat trip through the City of Salzburg<\/h2>\n

The Amadeus II<\/a> is gladly ridiculed by many residents of Salzburg. How did someone come upon the idea of operating a boat on the Salzach River to Hellbrunn and back? But anyone who sets forth on this short trip quickly gets the idea: you have a very different view of the city from the water and will be delighted by the green shoreline along the route. The crowning conclusion (caution: not suitable for any nervous stomach) is the Danube waltz at the end of the trip, when everyone on board the boat is carried away to indulge in a dance. <\/span><\/p>\n

A holiday in SalzburgerLand is much more than culture and sports. Look forward to these wonderful excursion railways and numerous other destinations in SalzburgerLand, and secure the SalzburgerLand Card<\/a><\/span> now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
