Landl: Discover gorges, water and geology

Landl offers many different reasons to travel: seasonal water activities take centre stage on the Salza, while gorge trails, geology and museums appeal to other interests. The Salza winds through the gorges of the Styrian Salza Valley, named after the river. This gives the landscape a clear framework for different holiday priorities, from activities on the river to trails through gorges and discoveries relating to rocks and museums.

The Salza and its gorges: water activities and trail profiles

Rafting trips, kayaking courses and canyoning are available on the Salza from the end of April to mid-October. Whether you are most interested in a trip, a course or canyoning, the season is the same. If you are planning your trip around one of these experiences, choose dates between the end of April and mid-October. For travellers coming for activities on the Salza, this provides a practical guide when choosing their travel dates.

The wooden Nothsteg walkway, about 600 metres long, runs through the gorge and includes occasional bridges and steps. The Nothklamm is part of the GeoPfad trail. In the Palfau Wasserlochklamm Gorge, the route crosses a suspension bridge and follows a wooden walkway past five waterfalls to the Wasserloch. The Wasserloch is a karst feature. The two routes have distinct characteristics: the Nothsteg is defined by its approximate length and occasional bridges and steps, while the Wasserlochklamm route follows a bridge and wooden walkway, passing five waterfalls before reaching its geological destination.

Rocks, museums and a bathing lake

At the GeoWerkstatt Gams, visitors can grind and oil stones. GeoRama is a museum about rocks, minerals and fossils. At the stone-ball mill, a stone is shaped completely into a sphere using hydropower. These geological attractions each have a different focus: hands-on work in the workshop, museum exhibits about rocks, minerals and fossils, and the complete shaping process using hydropower. This lets you include different aspects of the subject of stone in your travel plans.

The Silvanum Forestry Museum is housed in a former grain store, which was converted into the Austrian Forestry Museum in 1979. The museum features exhibitions on four levels. The year marks the building’s conversion into a museum; its former use as a grain store is part of its history. The museums also have distinct profiles: GeoRama focuses on rocks, minerals and fossils, while the building’s history and its four exhibition levels are useful points of reference at the Silvanum.

Landl bathing lake covers 7,000 m² and has a 900 m² children’s area. For families planning a holiday that includes a designated area for children, these dimensions provide a practical point of reference. Alongside the gorges and geology, the bathing lake offers another distinct focus for planning your trip.
