Have you already seen all the sights of Salzburg? Have you climbed Hohensalzburg? Have you tried Mozartkugel? Then I offer a few ideas on the topic: Where to go from Salzburg?

Nearest towns and villages

The most convenient option for traveling around the “city of salt” is a rented car. Renting a car will give you the necessary freedom; you will be able to travel around neighboring villages and towns to your heart’s content, admire the beauty of nature and architectural ensembles different eras (see car rental). You can also use public transport. It runs on schedule and connects all popular tourist sites.

Each of these small towns is located within half an hour's drive from Salzburg and deserves attention. Their visit will diversify your impressions of your stay in Salzburg, during your free time from city tours.

The town of Werfen is located 40 km from Salzburg. You can get there in an hour by train. The city is surrounded by majestic mountain ranges in the Pongau Valley. Above Werfen, an imposing castle (Festung Hohenwerfen) rises on a lonely hill. Not far from the castle there is an ice cave (Eisriesenwelt), the largest in the world (the length of a unique underground labyrinth is 42 km). Buses run along the Eisriesenwelt-Werfen route (see schedule).

On the banks of the Hallstattersee, 75 km from Salzburg, stands the fabulous (Hallstatt) with the oldest in the world. This small town by the lake, surrounded mountain range Dachstein is included in the UNESCO list along with the surrounding area. The scenery here is simply stunning.

On the road from Salzburg to Hallstatt you will pass Gmunden, the village of Traunkirchen, and also the famous resort (Bad Ischl). You can, of course, cover this route in one day. However, it is better not to do this: you will not get a complete impression from this “jog”.

St. Gilgen

You will spend more time on the road to Traunsee. So, you will have to get to Gmunden with a transfer in the city of Attnang-Puchheim, the whole journey will take about 1.5 hours.

Traunkirchen

On the road, before reaching Gmunden, you can stop by the commune of Traunkirchen. This is a secluded village with an ancient chapel on the mountain and picturesque houses at the very edge of the water.

Attnang-Puchheim

You can get to Lake Hallstättersee in about 2.5 hours; you will also have to change trains in Attnang-Puchheim (in this city you can visit the pilgrimage basilica of Mary of Puchheim with the miraculous image of the Mother of God).

You can stop by one more lake - (Attersee). On its banks there are seven villages - modest settlements in which there are no particularly interesting objects. But the lake itself is suitable for swimming. Attersee is the most big lake Austria (47 km²). Its banks are mostly flat, the water is crystal clear, its temperature in summer reaches 26°C. You can swim in other large lakes of Salzkammergut - the water in them is also quite warm in summer. Many lakeside hotels have their own beaches.

Salzkammergut impresses travelers not only with its lakes, towns and villages. There are many walking routes along its territory, which will especially appeal to those who like to climb mountains. In many settlements (Hallstatt, St. Gilgen, St. Wolfgang, Gmunden, etc.) there are cable cars that will take you to the mountain peaks, from where wonderful landscapes will open up. You can, on the contrary, go down into a cave and visit a mysterious salt mine near Hallstatt. The most beautiful landscapes open to tourists from the water. Pleasure boats sail along the lakes. You can find complete information about a boat trip on the lakes on the websites: atterseeschifffahrt.at, wolfgangseeschifffahrt.at, hallstattschifffahrt.at.

Ski resort Zwelfhorn

In winter, the ski resorts of Salzkammergut await active tourists. The skiing season begins in the first days of December and ends in April. The region has many easy slopes and moderately difficult trails. The possibilities for flat skiing here are endless. The best slopes for beginner skiers are on Zwölferhorn (12erhorn.at), a mountain that can be reached from St. Gilgen by cable car.

Ski resort West Dachstein

Excellent conditions for skiing are created in the ski region (Skiregion Dachstein-West, dachstein.at), this is near Hallstatt, Bad Ischlem, Gosau. A lot of useful information More information about the Salzkammergut region can be found on the website salzkammergut.at.

It is not very convenient to travel from Salzburg every time to visit one of the tourist spots in Salzkammergut or go skiing. It is best to stay directly in the region, for example in Bad Ischl. It is optimally located in relation to all the main lakes of the Salzkammergut.

You can move every day or two to different settlements: from Salzburg to Gmunden, from there to Bad Ischl, then to St. Gilgen or Hallstatt. Having visited each city along the “ring” route, you will return to Salzburg again. It is possible to start (or end) the trip in Linz.

80 km southwest of Salzburg the ancient resort town(Zell am See). It stands on the shores of the majestic Lake Zeller (Zeller See). Nearby are the ski center (Kaprun) and the village of Krimml, famous for its unique cascades (Krimmler Wasserfälle).

The journey to Zell am See by train from Salzburg takes 1.5 hours. In summer, the resort becomes a recreation center; sports competitions and music festivals are held here. You can swim and wander along mountain trails, enjoying beautiful scenery mountains, green valley and blue lake.

As a ski resort, Zell is suitable for intermediate athletes. Gentle trails lead to Zell and Schüttdorf from the Strambachkopf (1856 m) and Schmittenhöhe (2200 m) mountains. Look at the information.

Kaprun

South of Zell am See, twenty minutes by bus, is the famous ski resort of Kaprun. There are more difficult trails and high peaks (the height of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier mountain is 3029 m). See resort information.

The scenery here is stunning, and not just in winter. In the narrow gorge of Sigmund-Thun-Klamm (aprunmuseum.at) there is a magnificent walking route to Lake Kapruner Ache. In the gorge you can see a waterfall of fabulous beauty. The most powerful diagonal elevator in Europe is located here. Sigmund-Thun-Klamm can be reached from Kaprun in half an hour or by bus.

You can combine a hike to the gorge with a trip to the high mountain reservoirs (Kaprun Hochgebirgsstauseen): Stausee Mooserboden, located at a level of 2036 m, and Stausee Wasserfallboden. Check out the website: verbund.com. The route there starts from the final bus stop Kesselfall-Alpenhaus (Kaprun Kesselfall-Alpenhaus).

If you travel to Kaprun by car, it is worth taking a road trip through the highlands panoramic road(Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße). This toll tourist route runs through national park(Nationalpark Hohe Tauern). It is considered one of the most beautiful scenic routes in Europe and runs in the area highest peak Tauern-Grossglockner (3798 m) and the Pasterze glacier. The road is open only in the warm season due to difficult climatic conditions. Here you will see alpine nature and maybe even friendly marmots, and take the best photographs of mountain landscapes from observation platforms.

Krimml

The small town of Krimml is located an hour and a half drive from Zell am See. You will spend at least three hours on the road from Salzburg if you take a bus. In the Krimlin itself there is a cozy atmosphere, a beautiful cathedral, musical fountain.

Tourists come to these parts to see the cascading Krimlin waterfalls, the largest in Europe. Their total height is more than 380 meters. The excursion to the waterfall will take at least 4 hours. From the terminus of bus number 670 you will have to climb a steep path for at least an hour. There are benches for rest along the entire climb; dizzying landscapes open from the trail. Maximum water discharge occurs in July. In winter, the Krimlin Waterfall freezes in the form of a bizarre ice staircase, and you can get close to it.

You can set aside a day for this trip from Salzburg, but it will be more convenient to stay in Krimml itself, Zell am See or Kaprun.

Salzburgerland Card

Here are the main ones independent routes from Salzburg. Not all options are listed here, but this program will be enough for at least a week. To save on visiting tourist sites, you should explore the possibilities offered by the Salzburgerland Card.
