에를라우프제 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Beautiful panoramic view over Hochschwab to the Gesäuse mountains

The terrace is great. Unfortunately, the food is less so: tasteless frozen Kaiserschmarrn for a hefty 13 euros, which sits heavily in the stomach.

Beautiful view of the lake even in winter 🤍❄️🏔️

The price of the up and down ticket (adult) is almost €30, but it's well worth it, as you also get a free light rail ticket and other entertainment options.

From here, you have a magnificent view of the lake, which boasts crystal-clear, drinkable water and spacious sandy and pebble beaches. It lies directly on the border between Lower Austria and Styria. After a hike, a charming café in a railway carriage and homemade strudel invite you to enjoy. Those looking for an active holiday will find boat rentals and a tennis court, as well as an exciting forest ropes course and a well-maintained campsite in St. Sebastian, just 100 meters from the lake. Further information and current updates can be found on the official website: www.camping-erlaufsee.at.

The Halter-Hütte Brach is located at 1,449 meters in the Ybbstal Alps and offers magnificent views of the Ötscher, the Styrian mountains, and the Gemeindealpe. This cozy alpine hut is easily accessible from Zellerrain (Lower Austria/Styria border). In summer, refreshments are available here, but overnight accommodations are not available. However, the hut is open daily.

The ship, which sails on Lake Erlauf, has a long history: it was built in 1916 for the Austro-Hungarian Navy as a monitoring boat for the Danube.

Today I enjoyed a delicious snack in the old railway carriage, which has been lovingly restored. The young owner, who cooks his own food and works for the Museum Tramway Association, told me a bit about the history of the Museum Tramway 🚊. It's a really nice place. 👍
