Hiking

High above Salzburg towers the Untersberg – a mountain full of stories and mysterious places. Legends tell of dwarves, emperors, and hidden caves. Those who set out on the trail will encounter tranquil forests, rugged cliffs, and sweeping vistas. Well-marked trails lead to alpine pastures and peaks. Those who wish can take the Untersbergbahn cable car to the Geiereck. The return journey? Whichever way you prefer – downhill through nature or via other routes back to the valley.

Hiking

The Untersbergbahn cable car brings thousands of visitors, including many tourists, up the mountain every year. But for mountain enthusiasts, the other direction is just as exciting: ascent via Reitsteig or Dopplersteig and descent by gondola to Grödig. From there, take bus number 35 back to the starting point in Glanegg (if you leave your car there).
