There is hardly another region in Austria that offers such variety of activities in such a small area. You may choose to stay longer to take advantage of all the possibilities.
Swimming
Your hotel is only 600 meters
above Lake Fuschl. If you prefer simply to relax, the lake
invites you for a quiet swim in its crystal clear waters
literally fit to drink, within a 5-minute walking distance, which is a
unique experience.
Golf
Fuschl is a paradise for
golfers: with the hotel´s own 9-hole golf course
Fuschl directly at the Jagdhof and the 18-hole
championship course Eugendorf just a 10-minutes drive away.
Furthermore, there are seven golf courses, each with spectacular views,
within this area invititing you for your next (or
first) Hole-in-One.
Hiking / Biking
Lake Fuschl provides a nice
walking or jogging trail that encircles the entire lake and can be
completed in one to two
hours. Explore the Mill Trail in Ebenau or visit the Wartenfels Ruins,
the "unofficial" emblem of the region. You may want to hike to
the top of the mountain Schober, which starts in Fuschl, or
the Schafberg and you will be rewarded with unforgettable
vistas over several lakes of the Salzkammergut region. Almost
all of the mountains around St.Wolfgang are easy to climb,
most with prepared paths and roads; and two even offer transportation
to the top.
Lake Cruise on Wolfgangsee
Wolfgangsee Lake is one of the
most impressive and well-known lakes of the Salzkammergut area. Take a
trip to the three villages surrounding Wolfgangsee Lake on the
“Kaiser Franz Josef” and “Kaiserin
Elisabeth” paddle steamers or with other boats of the
Wolfgangsee
boat cruises.
