The Rupertiweg on the Wallersee is a beautiful section of the eponymous Austrian long-distance hiking trail (No. 10), which stretches from the Bohemian Forest to the Karawanks. In the Wallersee area, this trail shows its particularly idyllic and gentle side.

The Wiestal Reservoir in Salzburger Land is a popular destination for cyclists, nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Wiestal Valley near the communities of Puch bei Hallein, Ebenau, and Adnet. The lake was created between 1909 and 1913 with the construction of a 28-meter-high gravity dam and today serves as a reservoir for the Wiestal storage power plant. Numerous cycling paths lead to the reservoir, including circular tours from Salzburg, Bad Vigaun, or Hallein, offering both scenic highlights and sporting challenges. Swimming areas and recreational opportunities are located along the lake, making it ideal for a combination of cycling, nature experiences, and relaxation.
