Lakes, rivers, mountains - Austria like in a picture book
With its scenic interplay of deep blue lakes and mountains, the Salzkammergut is quite rightly one of the most beautiful and diverse holiday regions in Austria. Three federal states - Salzburg, Upper Austria and Styria - share the Salzkammergut, which is ideal for wonderful excursions and activities from Salzburg.
The Salzkammergut Lakes
Fuschlsee, Wolfgangsee and Mondsee are the closest to the city of Salzburg. Further afield, the large Attersee, Traunsee, Irrsee, Hallstätter See and Altausseer See lakes also offer their very own attractions.
Activities around the lake
For water sports of all kinds, romantic boat trips or hiking and cycling tours, the lakes are populated by countless visitors from spring to autumn.
Sport in the mountains
