Excursion destinations

The drive on the probably most famous of all alpine roads, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, leads to the highest mountain in Austria and is an experience for young and old. 48 kilometers, this beautiful panoramic road leads through the diverse mountain world of the Hohe Tauern National Park and delights all nature lovers with its fascinating fauna and flora.
Numerous themed hiking trails, exhibitions, visitor centers and playgrounds are also offered. The Ferleiten toll station is just under 36 km from us and there you should also take the opportunity to visit more than 200 animals native to the Alps in the Ferleiten Wildlife and Leisure Park.

A visit to the world's largest ice cave should not be missed on your vacation. This ice cave is one of the most popular excursion destinations in the province of Salzburg and amazes its visitors with a total passage length of more than 40 kilometers and fascinating ice sculptures. Experienced guides lead visitors through the winding corridors of the Eisriesenwelt, and visitors learn interesting facts about the history and origins of the cave. And even those who want to escape the summer heat have a good chance of cooling off at temperatures usually below 0° C! The Eisriesenwelt in Werfen is just under 56 km away from us.

The Lamprechtshöhle cave as well as the Seisenberg and Vorderkaserklamm gorges are worthwhile excursion destinations in Salzburg's Saalachtal valley. With a total extension of 51 km, the Lamprechtshöhle in St. Martin bei Lofer is one of the largest show caves in Austria. Fascinating impressions can also be gained by visiting the two gorges, which can be found at the foot of the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge mountains. Here, nature has created bizarrely shaped rocks in a very confined space, over which raging waterfalls rush. These three imposing natural monuments are only a 10-minute drive from the Oberhaslinghof.

A trip to the Krimml Waterfalls, about 70 km away, is worthwhile in any case. The largest waterfalls in Europe offer an incredible natural spectacle and impress with a drop height of an incredible 380 meters! Let yourself be fascinated by the power of the water and take a hike along the 4 km long waterfall trail, which brings you up close to this "natural wonder" at many vantage points, or visit the interesting water wonderland. The Krimml Waterfalls are the only natural monument in Austria and can be visited from May to October.

A visit to the Mozart and festival city of Salzburg, around 75 km away, is well worth including in your holiday plans. Highlights include the historic old town with Getreidegasse and Mozart’s Birthplace, Hohensalzburg Fortress and Mirabell Gardens. Due to the traffic system and limited parking in the city centre, we recommend travelling by public transport. With the Guest Mobility Ticket, the journey is complimentary during your stay.

Saalbach Hinterglemm is a varied destination for families and hikers. In summer, the Saalfelden Leogang Card includes two complimentary ascent and descent rides per day on participating lifts in Saalbach Hinterglemm or Leogang. At the end of the valley, visitors can explore the Talschluss panoramic trail to serviced alpine huts, the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps and treetop trail, and the high ropes park. Additional admission charges may apply to individual attractions.

The mountain landscape around the Wildseeloder in Fieberbrunn offers a variety of hikes, including the route to Lake Wildseeloder. At the Streuböden middle station, Timok’s Wild World offers families water games, a forest ropes course, a discovery trail and other children’s attractions. Admission to the family park is free; the cable car and Alpine Coaster are subject to a charge.

Many rewarding destinations are close by in Saalfelden and Leogang, including Museum Schloss Ritzen, the Mining and Gothic Museum Leogang and the Leogang show mine. Enjoyable hiking destinations include the Einsiedelei hermitage, Steinalm, Spielbergalmen and Lettlkaser. Please check the difficulty, walking time and current opening times before setting off.

In Maria Alm, the forest slide park on Natrun and Lake Prinzensee make for an enjoyable family day. The playground at the Grammlergut snack station offers climbing, swings, slides and plenty of fun for children. Opening times and individual facilities may depend on the season and weather.
