Eight days –  ten lakes

This trekking tour leads to a wonderful spot in Austria: the Salzkammergut. Where Empress Sissi spent her summers and imposing mountains meet dazzling lakes, pure relaxation is the order of the day. Over eight wonderful days you will experience all kinds of highlights, visit charming places and get to know the special way of life of the inhabitants. In addition, there are magnificent views to enjoy on the hiking trails. Take a deep breath - and immerse yourself in this unique world with us!

The Fuschlsee serves as the starting point of this “sensational” tour and here there is the first opportunity for a refreshing swim. Enjoy the cultural and scenic attractions of the region: the Wartenfels ruins, the Blinklingmoos nature reserve and the Koppenbrüller cave are just a few of the great stage points.

Be active and bring body and mind into harmony - hiking is a great way to switch off and recharge your batteries. Speaking of which: You need strength for the tours and therefore culinary delights must not be neglected. A hearty snack on the alpine pasture, laced hiking boots and off you go!
