Lakes and mountains; sun and snow; water and salt; leisure and hard work; tradition
and modernity; high-profile international events and local traditional events. This is a
region of contrasts. You cannot separate one from the other. They form part of a larger
picture which has been an inspiration for centuries: the Salzkammergut.
Sometimes know as the “tenth province of Austria“, its range of diversity in such a
relatively small area is unique. The Salzkammergut covers 67 crystal-clear lakes and
various mountain ranges.The region has been blessed with enchanting landscapes,
delightful valleys, and interesting people.
Although it may be geographically small it has a lot to offer. Searching out its many
distinctive features may be impossible in one life-time, but it‘s worth trying. To help you
on this quest we have gathered together a host of tips and stories. Also included are
recipes for you to try out, and a collection of the most popular events. Read about wild
artisans, via ferrata, and hiking with diving goggles; about operettas and the creation of
a Narzissenfest figure; about lakes, experiences, beautiful places, Advent markets, ski
slopes, cross-country trails, and a village magistrate; and of course, about the Emperor,
and “the spice of life“ that has bound this region together for thousands of years. Enjoy
life to the full, because that is what we do in the Salzkammergut.

the locals, each speaks its own language, and each
leaves you with a special feeling. They are unique and
distinctive, a bit like the people who live there; they have
character. Upper Austrian, Styrian or Salzburg. Honest,
distinctive, and elegant. The 76 lakes, scattered over the
three provinces, provide the Salzkammergut with a
colourful palette of watercolours. What‘s more is that
they all have drinking water quality.

popular with anglers who come for the pike, eel, whitefish,

over, the ice fishermen come.
“This is my paradise. An unspoilt region“, said Otto Schenk

TASTE THE
STYRIAN SEA
The Grundlsee is the largest lake in Styria and this is why it is also known as the “Styrian Sea“.
But the water is not salty, quite the opposite - you can drink it.
Lie on the pebble beach in Gössl, which sits on the narrow
eastern shore of Lake Grundlsee, and with eyes half
closed look across the lake: you will see the illusion of an
infinite horizon. It looks almost like the sea. The sound of
the waves gently rippling, the small container ship going
by (a small steamer named Rudolf or Traun), the icecream man says “Griaß Di“ instead of “Ciao“ and - then

largest lake in Styria: the Styrian Sea. Its water is fresh

here in the summer. Eight kilometres of the shoreline are
undeveloped and freely accessible.
A great place to swim. Jump into the water (usually about
20 °). Swim, splash around, dive down. And if you get
thirsty - drink! As well as having its own tributaries, Lake
Grundlsee is also fed by melt water in the spring and has
drinking water quality. Who would have thought that
Styrian seawater would taste so good?

Putz can imagine: “I always wanted to be an oven builder.
They‘ve fascinated me since I was a child“. Starting out as
a stone mason and tiler in Hallein, he completed his
military service and then started his apprenticeship in
Mondsee at 19. “I didn‘t want to train at home and be the
‚son of the boss‘.“ So Mondsee was where he achieved his
master qualification from the Kachelofen association. After
working in the family business for a year and a half, he
then decided to go it alone - as Rothschädl‘s Enkel. Quality
is important to him. As well as oven building he also lays

In the future, the initiative will continue to grow. There is
still room to develop in the restaurants in Scharnstein and
Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting. At the same time the
initiative will encourage the diversity of farm animal

of the bees
The idyllic Brunnwinkl am Wolfgangsee has been indirectly responsible for a Nobel Prize: It was in this district of
St. Gilgen that the zoologist Karl von Frisch (1886-1982) began his study to understand the language of bees. In
1973 he received the Nobel Prize for his work. Take a walk to the Frisch houses in the bay of Brunnwinkl.
His tools still lie there as if he had just got up from his
work. The splashes of colour on the glass tubes and
pipettes indicate that a scientist was at work here: as part
of his research Karl von Frisch marked countless bees
with splashes of red, green, blue and yellow. The colours
allowed him to differentiate between the bees and to see
where and how far they flew. St. Gilgen‘s Local History
Museum contains Frisch‘s zoological collection. Among
the curiosities are a grass snake that ate a toad and
choked on the beanstalk it also swallowed. A silent but
eloquent witness from his observations of natural history.
Bee experiments in Brunnwinkel
It was over 100 years ago that the zoologist began his first
experiments with bees. The summer holidays were when
his family gathered at their summer residence in
Brunnwinkl. His parents had purchased Mill House, the
nucleus of the five legendary Frisch houses in Brunnwinkl.
became the research station of the young Karl von Frisch.
The local residents also helped him with his bee
experiments. “At an outdoor experiment table, with a
circle of observers around, was typical of how I spent my

his memoirs “Fünf Häuser am See (Five houses on the
lake)“.
The open-air laboratory
The path, about two kilometres long, leads from the
museum through the village towards Brunnwinkl on the
old Mondsee road (signpost “Uferweg Furberg“). Where
the path branches (memorial plaque) towards Fürberg
the view of Frisch‘s open-air laboratory opens up: A
collection of buildings, which is still family-owned today.
In the middle, the large mill house with the small
“Freßglöckerl“ bell tower, which served the same function
as in the old farmhouses, of calling those working in the
fields to eat. It was on this lake shore in the mid 1940‘s
that “Bee Frisch“ made the discovery which earned him
the Nobel Prize.
Karl von Frisch proved that bees communicate with each
other. They share information about good food sources

communicated by the returning bees doing a round dance.
A feeding area a greater distance away is shown by the
more complex waggle dance. In this way bees can
communicate with each other about food sources which
may be several kilometres away. This was the discovery
that brought “Bee Frisch“ the 1973 Nobel Prize. A statue of
Frisch in the lake-side park in St. Gilgen honours this
pioneering research.

A NARCISSUS FIGURE BLOOMS - FROM IDEA TO FESTIVAL
“A FIGURE
IS LIKE A PIECE OF
JEWELLERY”
The centrepieces of the annual Narcissus Festival in Ausseerland-Salzkammergut are the ornate, dazzling,
white flower figures. Behind every figure is a creative mind. Stefan Pucher has one of those minds and
gives an insight into how an idea is transformed into a narcissus figure.
“We must have the idea in place by
Easter at the latest.“ Stefan Pucher is
a goldsmith. For the last 20 years he
and his sister‘s family have taken
part in nearly every Narcissus
Festival. They are team: Freller/
Pucher from Altaussee. In 2014 the
team created a ten-metre-long lucky
dragon based on a design by the
artist André Heller for the Vienna
Life Ball. In 2012 it was a Frog King.
And before that? A hippopotamus, a
turtle, a pig, a crown. The list goes
on.
“We are the hard core“ says Pucher.

When the sun is shining, the guests explore the

“Most are good at occupying themselves. Sometimes we
do things with them.“ A visit to the pub or a weekly
barbecue evening provide an opportunity for socialising
on a farm holiday. But so does the work: guests have a go
at milking, feed the goats, drive the tractor or help with
hay. “We have had tears when someone has missed the
nightly ritual of putting the animals into the barns,“ said
Putz. She runs the farm with her husband as a sideline
business. The two sons help out if there is a lot to do. Ten
hectares of land, eleven cows and a few small animals, is
no small task. Wonderful, says Martina.

Espalier trees and drying huts in the Salzkammergut
FROM TREE
TO MOUTH
Plum, pear and apricot espalier trees decorate the walls of houses in the Salzkammergut. When the fruit
matures in the autumn the wise locals put them to dry.
If the space available is too limited or
the climate‘s too cold then the
Salzkammergut folk plant their fruit
trees against the wall. In Hallstatt,
Bad Ischl, Bad Aussee, or Bad
Goisern. “The best fruits are on the
east side of the house,“ says a man
who should know. Martin Grill is a
member of the Fruit Growing Union
in Bad Goisern and has been
growing fruit trees for over 40 years.
He grows nectarines, plums, and
apricots, as well as grapes, apples,
and pears. His passion comes from

stopped him from taking a wild plant

20 events over three days reveal the enthusiasm of the
participants. Customs, dances and music, which vary
from region to region, are also an expression of
authenticity. These subtle differences reveal the diversity
of the country and its people. Groups from all over Upper
Austria will be there.
Three days of action
The festival begins on Friday afternoon with a number of
opening concerts in various places. In the evening, the
official opening will take place. There will be singing,
dancing and making music until the early hours. On
Saturday, the individual regions present themselves.
Exhibitions, concerts, crafts and much more make for an
atmospheric setting. On Sunday, there is a joint
ecumenical service in St. Kilian‘s parish church in
Oberwang. This will be followed by a large celebration to
close the Upper Austria Folk Culture Festival 2016.
This remarkable festival has already been going for more
than 20 years. Its success story began in 1995 in
St. Mary‘s Church. Since 1996 it is has taken place every
two years and is always held in a different part of the
region. Admission to the events is free. It takes place in all
weathers.

Handmade is something
special - essential for
people with character.
There are only a few people left who work leather by
hand. Cheap items made in China or India, that soon looks
shabby, degrade this craft. They are simply items of clothing,
without the history that is worked into a real pair of lederhose.
This state of affairs is being addressed by Gössl: their
beautiful lederhose are made from red deer leather that has
been carefully tanned into a soft suede. The leather for such
high quality lederhose is carefully selected, sorted, and cut
out by hand. The dark colour is a result of dying with wood
extracts. Small imperfections and shading show that the
hide has been treated naturally and not with strong chemical
dyes that can cause a health hazard. This skin can breathe.
Let the air get to your knees! With brilliant green embroidery
the Gössl lederhose are short and carefully crafted. The
finest asset for hunks and cool dudes. A piece of clothing
with character, for men with character, they are an heirloom
for generations to come.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING IN THE SALZKAMMERGUT
700 KM OF GENTLE
WINTER FUN
The Salzkammergut is a paradise for cross-country skiing. Mountain and valley trails

offer varied cross-country skiing in a wonderful environment.
The snow crunches, the trees blend in the white splendour,
forget the worries of everyday life with the winter sun
reflected in your ski tips. The countless beautiful mountains
of the Salzkammergut are well known for the finest skiing.
But this idyll does not only belong to the many wonderful
ski slopes of the region. In recent years, another sport has
come out from the shadows of alpine skiing - crosscountry skiing. Anyone who has been to the Blaa Alm, an
idyllic low lying meadow between Altaussee and Bad
Ischl, and done a couple of rounds on a pair of cross
country skis, knows why. It is a unique natural experience.
And the Blaa Alm is, as part of the 220km cross-country
trails in the Ausseerland-Salzkammergut region, just one
of the many cross-country skiing destinations between

The 700km of cross country trails are spread high and low
across the whole of the wonderful Salzkammergut
