Important information for your hiking trip in the Salzkammergut

Dear visitors to the Salzkammergut and fellow hiking enthusiasts!

Due to the current weather conditions – with high temperatures and the resulting dry conditions caused by low rainfall – we advise you to plan your hikes and mountain tours carefully and to take the conditions mentioned above into account.

Take plenty of fluids with you:

- In some cases, water supplies at the huts are already limited and some springs are no longer as plentiful! Therefore, make sure to take at least one extra bottle with you!!

- Please also get in touch with the hut wardens along your route to get the latest information.

Timing of your trip:

- Set off early in the morning so that temperatures do not get too high, and make sure to take a hat with you. We also recommend using a good sun cream.

Choosing a route:

- Opt for routes that are largely through woodland to provide natural shade, or pay attention to the location of the hiking and mountain trails in relation to the sun’s rays.

 

We thank you for your understanding!
