Mountains & Lakes Trail "The pleasure wide hiking trail from lake to lake" - Part II
May 15th - October 8th, 2024
+Delicious Discoveries: Abbey Liqueur
The defining feature of the Salzkammergut has always been the visual drama between the countless small and large lakes nestling in the abruptly rising mountains of the Northern Alps. The newly established long distance trail links these hotspots in a never seen before, comprehensive way. On 19 stages or 337 km, plus several regional circuits, a new walking experience takes form. Discover lush Alpine meadows, fairy-tale forests and invigorating waters in a cultural landscape of outstanding authenticity.
This tour follows the first stages of the S-Trail from Lake Traunsee to Lake Attersee and leads into the magnificent “Höllengebirge” mountain range. With overnight stay at two mountain lodges!

This stage, which leads from St. Wolfgang to St. Gilgen, is particularly promising.

With a small detour of about 1 km you come to the Europa Kloster Gut Aich. Take your time for the monastery’s herb garden, which was redesigned in 2016.

First part of today’s stage leads to the former forester’s hut Wartenfels, nowadays an excellent inn and guesthouse. A short detour to the nearby castle ruins Wartenfels comes highly recommended.
