For many, spring is the most beautiful time of year in Upper Austria. Because when the first strong rays of sunshine and the increasingly mild temperatures lure us out into the open, nature in the Salzkammergut comes to life with very special spectacles! And where better to top up your vitamin D stores than on a few easy mountain hikes, of which there are as many around Lake Attersee as there are sands by the sea - or rather pebbles on the lakeshore...
The "Path of the Senses" is a wonderful, easy circular trail. This circular trail starts in Nußdorf am Attersee - just a few minutes away from Hotel Aichinger - and leads through gentle hills and forests. There are numerous stations along the way that stimulate the senses and invite you to be mindful, such as barefoot paths and scent stations. The entire route is around eight kilometres long and can be completed in around three hours.
Another recommended route is the "Gustav Klimt" themed trail, which leads from Schörfling to Kammer. This trail is not only the ideal, easy hike to soak up the first rays of sunshine, but also has culturally exciting things to offer. Step by step along the way, you will discover the life and whereabouts of the famous painter Gustav Klimt Am Attersee. Information boards along the way tell you about Klimt's work and his time at Lake Attersee. The hike takes about two hours and offers marvellous views of the lake.
A special highlight for families is the "Attersee Bee Nature Trail" in Weyregg. On this four-kilometre hiking trail, nature lovers of all ages can learn lots of interesting facts about the local flora and fauna, in particular about bees and their importance for nature. Children learn exciting facts about the buzzing pollinators in an interactive way and experience nature up close. The hike is easy and can be completed in around one and a half hours.
Orchids in the wild in Austria? Yes, you can find them in Mondseeland in June. The strictly protected beauties can be admired on a hike up the Schober. Incidentally, the view of the Salzkammergut from the Schober is a highlight in itself - because you can see seven lakes from here! Fuschlsee, Mondsee, Attersee, Wallersee, Irrsee, Mattsee, Obertrumer See - you can see them all from the summit of the Schober.
