Are you a nature enthusiast stranded in Salzburg? Feel like the city is driving you crazy? No need to worry, there are plenty of opportunities to get outside.
Salzburg is an awesome destination to explore the outdoors and reconnect with nature. From visiting cascading waterfalls to kayaking down the renowned Salzach, Salzburg has got it all. Read today’s blogpost to find out what the Barmsteine have to offer.
Where they’re located
Fun fact: while hiking up the Barmsteine, you’re crossing boarders at the same time, visiting both, Austria and Germany.
You can get to the mountains either by car or on foot from Hallein. If travelling by car, you can take a short-cut, reducing your hiking time to only 30-40 minutes. That way, you can even get an early, pre-university hike in. For all the motivated hikers, starting off in Hallein will take about two hours (3-4 hours round-trip).
