# Autumn at Wolfgangsee

Picture Perfect: Autumn at Wolfgangsee
---------------------------------------

### Hiking, eating and relaxing - Autumn holidays at Wolfgangsee

The Wolfgangsee region is one of Austria’s most beautiful landscapes and takes on a very special charm in autumn. As the temperatures become milder and the clear air offers unobstructed views of the mountains and lake, the ideal time for hiking and cycling begins. Around the crystal-clear Lake Wolfgang, the colourful natural surroundings invite you to be active whilst finding peace and tranquillity.

Surrounded by an impressive mountain landscape, a diverse backdrop unfolds, inviting you to explore. The [Postalm](https://wolfgangsee.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-poi/detail/430003408/postalm-hiking-area.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"), Austria’s largest alpine plateau, also offers numerous opportunities for relaxing experiences in nature. Autumn at Lake Wolfgang is rounded off by a wealth of culinary delights – from traditional treats to regional alpine specialities.

 Stop off for a bite to eat in the mountains

Hikers and cyclists can refuel at the alpine huts with specialities produced right there on the spot – cheese, milk, bacon, bread, hearty pastries and a good schnapps to finish.
