Salzkammergut

Discover with me the beautiful places of the Salzkammergut. Three federal states and eight regions combine the Salzkammergut into one of the most beautiful areas to explore in Austria. The Salzkammergut is a large area with more than 50 communities on the northern edge of the Alps.

Every tourist region is a world of its own. But they have one thing in common: the beauty of a landscape that invites you to hike its mountains, immerse yourself in its lakes, enjoy its nature and be enchanted by its irresistible charm.
