The path to the Nixenfall is a wonderful, entertaining hike that offers plenty of variety, especially for children, with its numerous adventure stations for balancing, feeling and discovering. By the way: adults can also have fun at the adventure stations. The starting point of the approximately one-and-a-half-hour hike is the car park on the avenue in the village of Weißenbach am Attersee, the finishing point is the waterfall, which, according to legend, is home to a mermaid. Another tip for kids: along the trail, which is one of seven AdventureHikingTrails on Lake Attersee, there are also goblin stories by Marie Mohn, which children can read or listen to using a QR code.
Sure, hiking is not everyone's cup of tea. But have you ever tried it in the company of an alpaca? Who knows: maybe the fluffy, soft fur, the cute button eyes with long eyelashes and the funny hops of the Andean inhabitants will motivate you to explore the beautiful landscape of the Attergau on foot. In any case, an alpaca hike is an experience you won't have again in a hurry. In the Attergau region, alpaca trekking is offered with the friendly four-legged friends, where you can also learn lots of interesting facts about the animals and their habits.
Stand-up paddling, pedal boating and swimming - anyone can do them... But if you want to try something completely new, you should try wakeboarding. A wakeboard is a water sports device in the form of a board on which the athlete stands sideways to the direction of travel and is pulled across the water by a boat or a lift. The name wakeboard comes from the wake of the pulling motorboat, which is also used as a jump ramp in wakeboarding. Rapid speeds and breathtaking jumps ensure that there is never a dull moment. You can try out this sport at many water sports and wakeboard providers around the lake. Wake up!
If you want to get up high without having to climb a summit, Straß im Attergau is just the place for you. Around ten minutes from the parking lot, the observation tower on the mountain Lichtenberg is waiting to be climbed. To be more precise, 208 steps and 36 meters of altitude difference lie at the feet of the gloriously autumnal Salzkammergut: the Traunstein, the Höllengebirge, the Dachstein and, of course, Lake Attersee. If that wasn't enough, you can then walk around the Lichtenberg on an easy circular route in around half an hour.
Just under half an hour's drive from Nußdorf am Attersee (approx. 25 kilometers), the open-air spectacle “Frankenburger Würfelspiel” offers a special historical experience. The uprising of the Protestant citizens and farmers against the Roman Catholic clergy at the time of the Thirty Years' War is portrayed between trees and meadows. A play that illuminates this dark chapter of Austrian history in an impressive and atmospheric way.
