Salzkammergut hiking & mountaineering in the Lake Fuschl region
So many peaks that allow you to look out over the vastness of the whole Salzburg region. Right behind our hotel, our local mountain Schober awaits you with a panoramic view over the lake district of the Salzkammergut. Lake Fuschl, Lake Mondsee, Lake Irrsee and Lake Wolfgangsee will be the first to put a sparkle in your eyes. From here you can already see your possible further destinations for Salzkammergut hiking:
Schafberg in St. Wolfgang
Zwölferhorn above St. Gilgen
Ellmaustein in Fuschl
Nockstein in Koppl
the local mountain of Salzburg – the Gaisberg
Would you like to go on a climbing tour? When the peaks are snow-free, the Drachenwand or the Plombergstein offer some of the most impressive climbing in the Salzkammergut. And so that you can prepare yourself for the challenge, at our Waldhof spa and hiking hotel an indoor bouldering wall awaits you.
Salzkammergut bike tours
Would you like to cycle to your heart's content, go mountain biking or take an enjoyable bike tour on an e-bike? Our Hotel Ebner's Waldhof am See is located directly on the most beautiful Salzkammergut bike routes. You can rent bicycles from us, of course. How about the cycle path around Lake Fuschl, which takes you via the romantic Tiefbrunnau, Faistenau and Thalgauegg with unique views of Fuschlsee?
The Salzkammergut bike path to the Kaiservilla in Bad Ischl along Lake Wolfgang also awaits you. Or would you like to experience rustic alpine pastures? Here, too, you have many opportunities to really enjoy yourself – for example on the Zwölferhorn or the Faistenauer Schafberg.
Another absolute highlight is the Mountain and Lake Trail, which leads through the Salzkammergut in stages. Would you like to enjoy this great experience and not have to worry about organising anything yourself? Then simply take part in one of our guided bike tours or hikes and let yourself be enchanted by the region without having to find your way. And don't forget, after your activity you can enjoy a wonderful meal at our Waldhof Alm!
Already in spring, the lake entices with unique opportunities for kayaking or stand-up paddling. Sporty swimmers are drawn to the lake with their neoprene suits to cross Lake Fuschl.
Our natural bathing beach on the shores of the lake is the best place to start your aquatic fun. Here you will also find free SUP boards, boats and kayaks for your active holidays. Austria’s Lake Fuschl invites you to enjoy hours of watery fun.
Don't miss out on a boat trip with the hotel's own 'Fuschlerin'. From the lake you have an unobstructed view of the picturesque surroundings of Lake Fuschl. The barge glides gently over the water – while you relax, take in the panoramic view and enjoy your holiday to the fullest.
