Discover Straß im Attergau

Straß im Attergau combines scenic experiences on Kronberg with special salt offerings, cultural sites and winter activities. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can make their preferred type of trip the starting point for choosing a location: views, nature experiences, salt therapy, culture or winter sports each set different priorities.

Views and trails on Kronberg

Kronberg shapes the way Straß im Attergau is perceived. From Kronbergplatz, there is a panoramic view of Lake Attersee and the Attergau landscape. The Kronberg Chapel also offers views across the Attergau region and Lake Attersee. For travel planning in which the landscape is to be experienced consciously, these two viewpoints are destinations in their own right.

The 2 Kronberg circular trail starts at the Kronberg Chapel on Kronberg in Straß im Attergau and combines views, relaxation and nature experiences. Its starting point is also listed as being served by bus route 594. Those who want to combine different ideas for a day can compare this circular trail with a trip to other viewpoints. From the Attergau observation tower, there are unobstructed views of the Traunstein, the Höllengebirge mountains, Lake Attersee and the Dachstein.

Salt experiences, relaxation and culture

The KristallSalzWelt adds a distinctive feature. It includes salt experience and salt therapy rooms as well as a salt shop. The complex also includes a salt oasis and a salt gallery with an approximately 45-minute information talk and a tasting. In the Crystal Salt Oasis and the Crystal Salt Grotto, visitors can inhale salt-laden air. This adds an experience to a stay in the Attergau region that differs clearly from a day spent taking in the views or undertaking a sporting activity.

Cultural interests also have a specific point of reference in Straß im Attergau: the Straß Resurrection Chapel can be used for cultural events. For travel planning, this means that a cultural site can be taken into account alongside the landscape and physical activity, without limiting the stay to just one type of experience.

Active days in winter

In winter, the Kronberg ski lift offers skiing fun with views of Lake Attersee. Those who prefer cross-country skiing will find the Fronbühel-Powang trail, an approximately 8 km-long classic cross-country skiing trail; its starting point is in Fronbühel. The two options represent different forms of an active winter day. When looking for accommodation, you can therefore consider whether the focus of your trip is more on the ski lift, the cross-country trail, the viewpoints or the offerings of the KristallSalzWelt.

Another special activity is the course operated by the Attergauer Bowhunters. It covers 8 hectares and features 28 animal figures. This specific offering expands the selection for visitors who would like to plan an unusual outdoor activity during their stay.

Getting there and choosing the right location for your accommodation

The A1 motorway, St. Georgen exit, is specified for travelling to Straß im Attergau. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can first determine the desired character of your stay: Should the trip focus primarily on views of Lake Attersee and Kronberg, include the KristallSalzWelt, take cultural events into account or put the ski lift and cross-country trail at the centre in winter?
