The Fuschlsee region is a part of Austria where tranquillity, authenticity and diversity come together. Nestled between the emerald-green waters of Lake Fuschl, gentle hills and the striking peaks of the Salzkammergut, it reveals a landscape that enchants in every season.
Here, no day is like the other – and that is simply wonderful. In the morning, the sun reflects on the water; at midday, the air is filled with the scent of thyme and hay; and in the evening, the sky above the mountains glows in warm shades of red. Every path you take opens up a new, exciting picture: sometimes romantic, sometimes wild, sometimes dreamlike.
A holiday in the Fuschlsee region means letting your soul unwind while always discovering something new.
Just a few minutes from Fuschl lies St. Gilgen, one of the jewels of Lake Wolfgang. During Advent, the village transforms into a sparkling winter fairytale with its famous lakeside Christmas market. In summer, a boat trip across the lake invites you to take in the views of the surrounding peaks. And for those who love a touch of lightness, an aperitivo by the water feels almost Mediterranean – only here with an alpine backdrop.
Faistenau stands for peace and nature. In winter, snow-covered fields stretch out beneath your feet, crunching as you walk. Cross-country ski trails and winter hiking trails lead deep into the silence. In summer, the meadows are a green paradise, ideal for forest bathing or gentle hikes across flowering alpine pastures. Here you can feel the authenticity of the region particularly intensely.
The smaller villages around Lake Fuschl also have their own charm: Hof bei Salzburg with its quiet paths, Thalgau with its sporting activities and Ebenau with its rustic mills and lively traditions. Each community contributes to making the Lake Fuschl region so diverse and unique.
The region is a true hiking paradise just waiting to be discovered by you. From leisurely lakeside walks to challenging summit tours, there is something for every level of fitness.

When the landscape is covered in snow, the Fuschl region is transformed into a winter wonderland.

Whether you are an ambitious athlete or just enjoy a leisurely ride on your e-bike, the Fuschl region offers countless routes. Gentle climbs, scenic high-altitude trails and flat routes along the lakes provide plenty of variety. Refreshment stops offering regional specialities make every tour a pleasure.
The city of Mozart, Salzburg, is only a 30-minute drive away. Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Baroque old town, the museums and the festival make the city the perfect contrast to the tranquillity of the lake district.
The famous Lake Wolfgang is only a few kilometres away. Among the classic activities in the Salzkammergut are a boat trip across the lake and a stroll through the historic streets of St. Wolfgang. A particularly impressive experience is a ride on the cog railway up the Schafberg, from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Salzkammergut.
Another excursion takes you to Lake Mondsee. The market town of the same name is famous for its magnificent St. Michael's Basilica, which became world-famous through the film ‘The Sound of Music’. Cafés, walking trails and swimming opportunities await you on the lake shore.
For culture enthusiasts, a trip to Bad Ischl is well worth it.
