Hiking impression at Gosausee

This trekking tour leads to a wonderful spot in Austria: the Salzkammergut. Where Empress Sissi spent her summers and imposing mountains meet dazzling lakes, pure relaxation is the order of the day. Over eight wonderful days you will experience all kinds of highlights, visit charming places and get to know the special way of life of the inhabitants. In addition, there are magnificent views to enjoy on the hiking trails. Take a deep breath - and immerse yourself in this unique world with us!

The Fuschlsee serves as the starting point of this “sensational” tour and here there is the first opportunity for a refreshing swim. Enjoy the cultural and scenic attractions of the region: the Wartenfels ruins, the Blinklingmoos nature reserve and the Koppenbrüller cave are just a few of the great stage points.

Be active and bring body and mind into harmony - hiking is a great way to switch off and recharge your batteries. Speaking of which: You need strength for the tours and therefore culinary delights must not be neglected. A hearty snack on the alpine pasture, laced hiking boots and off you go!

  • Hiking as in a picture book: The Salzkammergut has it all - did you know that there are over 4,100km of marked hiking trails here? You are spoiled for choice, but everything is well planned on your Eurohike trip with flexibility. The paths are lined with impressive mountain panoramas and fascinating nature.
  • The most beautiful peaks in the Salzkammergut: Schafberg or Schober? You can go up high, because the hiking routes to the peaks of the region are simply too seductive to ignore. But you forget the struggle with the breathtaking views!
  • Blue, glittering lakes in abundance: You can't get bored in this regard - Mondsee, Attersee, Irrsee, Wolfgangsee, Hallstättersee etc. await with lots of action, fun and cooling down! How about trying out a new water sport? Stand-up paddling, sailing or diving broaden your horizons.
  • Discover the highlights of the Salzkammergut on foot: Take the ferry to the world-famous Hallstatt, which impresses with culture and tradition between mountain and lake - from the oldest salt mine to the extraordinary ossuary. Bad Aussee, Bad Ischl or St. Wolfgang await you with an equally charming flair.

The stages should not be underestimated in terms of length, because in addition to two shorter tours of ten and 15 km, the others are 19 to 22km. Depending on the length, you should plan 4 to 6 hours of hiking time each day. On two days, your legs are allowed to rest briefly on a ferry ride.
