Salzburg surroundings


Salzkammergut

Famous Lake District in the North East of Salzburg

The Salzkammergut is one of the most important cultural landscapes in Austria. Due to its wealth in salt it was connected to the most important centres of commerce already in prehistoric times, and in the Middle Ages one of the most important pilgrimage paths ended in this area. Elegant spas and the most popular summer-resort made it a meeting point of crowned heads, followed by representatives of high- and moneyed aristocracy as well as the high bourgeoisie from all over the world.
For many painters, writers and composers it became source of inspiration for superior artistic quality. The wonderful scenic diversity from the glaciers in the South over numerous lakes to the lovely pre-alpine hills contributes to the charm of this paradise-like area.
