The city of Salzburg and the lake district in the Salzkammergut
Trip to Salzburg and to the big lakes
Your holidays at Hotel Agathawirt in the idyllic Dachstein-Salzkammergut region should also include an excursion to Salzburg, the town of Mozart, to the Ausseerland and to the big lakes Wolfgangsee, Attersee, Fuschlsee and Mondsee.
The beauty of the lake district in Salzburg and Upper Austria has already provided the scenery for countless film productions. Take your time in your holidays in the Salzkammergut and feel the fascination of this landscape yourself.
Excursion to the Wolfgangsee and the lake district
Go on an excursion to the lake district from Landhotel Agathawirt, it is worth it. Use one of the many bays of the Fuschlsee to go swimming in summer, explore the Mondsee, the Attersee or the Wolfgangsee during a cruise with the steamer or take the Schafberg railway from St. Wolfgang to enjoy a wonderful view of the country. In winter, charming Christmas markets invite you to the idyllic shores of the lakes.
Ausseerland
The Ausseerland lies in Upper Austria and in Styria and has its very own special charm. Small idyllic lakes and high mountains invite you to hike and to walk in picturesque scenery. Villages such as Altaussee, Bad Aussee, Grundlsee and Tauplitz fascinate guests with their originality and their typical peculiarities.
