On the northern edge of the Salzkammergut there are two large lakes - the Irrsee and the Mondsee. And although the two lakes are jointly called 'The gateway to the Salzkammergut', they could not be more different. The more northern Irrsee lies in the middle of a wide hilly landscape, while the Mondsee is framed by steep rock walls. On the Irrsee, not a single motorboat touches the water, while water sports enthusiasts flock to the Mondsee. The Irrsee is a place of peace and seclusion, while the Mondsee is a lively destination. And the hiking trails around each destination are as varied as you might expect, taking you through comfortably hilly landscapes, past extensive stretches of lake, over summits and across exciting mountains.
We have chosen ten hiking trails between Mondsee and Irrsee. Families can hike comfortably along the Dragonfly Trail, pleasure hikers can circle Lake Irrsee, and ambitious outdoor sports enthusiasts can climb up to Almkogel. Even the toughest Alpinists will find something for them in this region, with the Drachenwand and the famous Schafberg inviting you to accept their challenge.
All you have to do is choose your favorite hike, grab your boots and off you go on your next mountain adventure.
