Hiking at Wolfgangsee The Most Beautiful Lake of the Salzkammergut

Especially in autumn, the Salzkammergut offers a mystical journey for every pleasure-seeking hiker. Stroll along the most stunning viewpoints and soak in the endless vistas from the Zwölferhorn, where the journey takes you to the summit on the third day.

South Tyrolean Wine and Alpine Trail A Journey of Culinary Delights & Fine Wines

On this hiking journey, you'll ascend to the Salten, a high plateau located on the Tschögglberg between Jenesien and Mölten. Enjoy the breathtaking atmosphere above the South Tyrolean Etschtal, nestled between Bolzano and Merano, as you wander through the larch forest. Those familiar with these coniferous trees know the stunning display of colors they offer throughout the seasons: a soft, almost shy green in spring transforms into a rich green in summer. As the first cold nights of autumn arrive, the larch needles begin to lighten: first bright green, then orange, yellow, and finally a radiant gold. This vibrant spectacle is truly unparalleled, captivating many hikers from the valley who flock to Langfenn to witness its beauty.

Shimmering Haflinger horses, cows, goats, and sheep graze in this unique cultural landscape, ensuring that nothing becomes overgrown. This has led to the formation of vast, open meadows dotted with larches. Thus, Europe’s highest larch high plateau has come into being.

Culinary Tip: Regional cuisine at the Gasthaus Langfenn, the golden throne of the Salten. Langfenn is one of the highest points on the long plateau of the Tschögglberg. It’s believed that even our ancient ancestors established a sacred site here, and today, the remnants of this site host one of the oldest churches in the region: St. Jakob on Langfenn.
