The most beautiful attractions in the Salzburg area

There are plenty of contenders for the title of most beautiful attraction in the Salzburg region. The delightful lake scenery of the Salzburger Seenland, and in particular the Wallersee, Irrsee and Obertrumer lakes, are easy to reach from our Landgasthof Kirchbichl in Hallwang. The rolling hills, meadows and fields are home to people who work hard to enrich their district with fine cuisine and handcrafts.

Enjoy relaxed cycling tours, hikes through the spectacular landscape and awe-inspiring sightseeing destinations. The limited traffic on our roads makes it all the easier to enjoy unforgettable days swimming in the lakes of the region.

Explore the picturesque Salzkammergut region

From the lake district of Salzburg to the famous Salzkammergut: it's no more than a 55km drive from Hallwang to any of the Mondsee, Wolfgangsee, and Fuschlsee lakes or even the Imperial city of Bad Ischl. Enjoy the picture-perfect landscapes on a day trip, immerse yourself in the cool waters of the Salzkammergut's lakes at any one of a number of swimming sites or spoil yourself with a visit to the historic Zauner confectionery in Bad Ischl.
