Austrian Lakes Activities

You stay in the picturesque Austrian village of Strobl, on the eastern shore of Lake Wolfgang, and one of the prettiest spots in the region. During your time here we provide a wide selection of fully researched self-guided walking and cycling routes, typically with a level 1 activity rating. To ensure total flexibility, we give you a complimentary Headwater bike for your exclusive use throughout your stay. There's also excellent local bus, ferry and cable car services (payable locally) linking the local lakes and villages.

A full range of watersports can be booked and paid for locally, with tuition available for beginners. Alternatively, perhaps take a trip on one of the many hop on, hop off lake cruisers and soak up the views from the water. There's also a natural wide beach for sunbathing. Take time to visit Mozart's magical city of Salzburg: stroll through the Mirabell Gardens, lunch in an atmospheric cobbled square, then take the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress for the most amazing city views.

You will spend 7 nights at the family-run 3 star Hotel Kirchenwirt which sits on the shore of Lake Wolfgang and has its own bathing jetty with loungers. Guests can also use the wellness facilities at the neighbouring Zierhaus. Alternatively, upgrade to the recently renovated 4 star Hotel Bergrose, set back from the river, and less than five minutes' cycle from the lake.
