Places of interest around Radstadt
Salzburg

Liechtensteinklamm gorge
How about this: the mighty roar of the waterfall, the lush green mossy rocks, an atmosphere reminding you of legendary times and sunbeams turning fine mist into a rainbow.
Rossbrand
The Rossbrand (1.7968 m) is numbered among the most beautiful look-out mountains in the eastern Alps with good reason. The summit offers you a 360° panorama of nearly 150 prominent alpine peaks: the Dachstein to the North, the Tennen and Hagen mountain ranges as well as the Großglockner and the Radstadt and Schladming Tauern – the grandeur of the Alps as far as the eye can see. Eight mighty tablets are sunk in around the cross at the summit. Among other interesting topics, they tell the story of how the surrounding landscape was formed.
Eisriesenwelt
The Eisriesenwelt is a gigantic labyrinth of ice-caves over 40 kilometers in length. As with all caves their formation continued over a long time period. Even today the caves in the Alps are in the process of developing further.
Salt mines
Salt used to be called “white gold”. True enough, the salt deposits in the Dürrnberg mountain near Hallein represented the treasure chamber of the entire region. Impressive marks left by the Kelts show that the mountain’s precious gift was mined as early as 500 BC.
Jägersee
The idyllically situated Jägersee lake in the Kleinarl valley is set in a landscape preservation area. For parents and children the hike begins at the “Gasthof Jägersee” and takes them along the reed belt which is a nesting area for local birds.
Hohenwerfen Fortress
A large variety of entertainment awaits visitors at the castle Hohenwerfen: guided tours of the castle, including an exhibit on weaponry, a stylish tavern and a knight’s shop. Furthermore, you can visit the province’s historic falconry center with its daily shows as well as regularly changing special exhibitions.
Mauterndorf Fortress
History is presented in a unique way at the medieval castle Mauterndorf in Lungau county, where one time travels back to the dark ages.

A tour takes you deep inside the glacier that is full of large niches, past attractions like the “Throne Room”, the “Crystal Dome” or the “Blue Salon”.
