Mountain View Near Rustic House

Highlight • Viewpoint

Caution! Behind the house/yard at waypoint 5, a biting dog awaits - you'll be greeted with a growl, chased, and then simply bitten. No greetings to the owner, certainly didn't enjoy the best upbringing ✌️

Vordersee Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Vordersee dam was built between 1920 and 1924 to ensure the electricity supply to the surrounding communities and the city of Salzburg by means of a pressure tunnel to the Strubklamm power station (near the bridge on the L107 at the upper end of the Wiestal reservoir). Due to the permeable soil conditions, too much water seeped away and a new pressure tunnel was built directly on the Hintersee. Today, the dam only serves hikers as a connection between the Seewirt and the Metzgersteig and offers an impressive view of the Strubklamm.

Kugelberg Family-Friendly Circular Trail

Highlight • Trail

Leisurely circular hike through the forest or at the edge of the forest (paths too narrow or too uneven for prams/buggys). Along the way there are always boards with geography puzzles for older children and botanical information for adults. Depending on where you start the circular hiking trail, you can have a coffee in Faistenau-Dorf at Bäcker Eder or in the Vordersee district at the Hotel-Restaurant Fischerwirt.
