paradise with its endless forests; wildflower meadows and
crystal clear water all contribute to the stunning scenery
of the Dachstein area. There are hundreds of different well
sign posted walks and hikes as well as climbing routes.

August and runs through until the end of October and offers
guided walks and hikes of varying degrees of difficulty.
