Austria tourism: Salzburg and Salzkammergut highlights

Overview

Tourism in the Salzburg and Salzkammergut regions continues to emphasize a blend of cultural landmarks, culinary variety, and outdoor recreation. Salzburg features major sites such as the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the 14-hectare Salzburger Zoo, the Museum of Modern Art, and the historic Dom Quartier.

In the Salzkammergut area, dining options range from the innovative soul-food at Hotel Post’s Beletage in Traunkirchen to specialized local fare, such as Attersee Kaiserschmarrn at a lakeside venue, upscale tavern cuisine at the Bräu in Nußdorf, Japanese sushi using local fish at SeeSushi in Strobl, and farm-to-table specialties at the bio-farm Baumgartengut near Fuschl.

Outdoor activities remain a central draw. The “4 mountains, 3 lakes” trekking route, accessible via the “Bahn zum Berg” bus service from Salzburg Hauptbahnhof to Mondsee, allows hikers to ascend the Schober and Frauenkopf peaks before ending at Fuschlsee. Additionally, a 2.5-hour hike from the Forsthaus Wartenfels parking area up the Schober provides panoramic views of four lakes: Irrsee, Mondsee, Fuschlsee, and Wallersee. For water-based relaxation, the banks of the Salzach river serve as popular local spots for picnics and leisure.
