Himmelspfortensteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Via the steep Himmelspfortensteig to the striking Schafberg, in the border region of Salzburg. It towers up as an imposing peak on the eastern bank with steep rock formations. It's hard to believe that his figure on the side of Lake Wolfgang looks so harmless

Schafberg Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The deep view from the summit cross down to the emerald-green Mondsee is especially great.

Heaven's Gate (Schafberg)

Highlight • Natural Monument

After the somewhat more strenuous ascent, of course, the view is tough! When the weather is clear, you really have a good view of every surrounding lake and the breathtaking area.

Purtscheller Trail – View of Lake Wolfgang

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Only to be entered with good shoes. In addition, you should definitely have a head for heights!

Mittersee

Highlight • Lake

Incredibly beautiful scenery with the mountain peaks and the Mittersee. We were very surprised by how much snow was still on the ground. Luckily we had our crampons with us, because they served us well.
