On the hiking trails, get set, go
Hiking & Mountaineering
in Salzburger Land
Winter is over. The snow has withdrawn to the high mountains and gives way to: hiking routes, mountain paths, trekking and walking routes through the picturesque landscape around Goldegg in Pongau.
“We start at the crack of dawn. The morning mist is still lingering over the Böndlsee lake. The village of Goldegg is still asleep. On the surrounding mountain summits, the summer sun is winning, metre by metre, more daylight. We climb higher and soon reach the first rays of sunshine - this will be a wonderful day hiking around Goldegg.”
