It was none other than the researcher and world traveler Alexander von Humboldt who, around 200 years ago, counted the area around Salzburg among the three most beautiful regions on Earth. The immense variety of scenic and cultural highlights continues to attract visitors from all over the world to the gates of the city of Mozart. The Rother hiking guide "Around Salzburg" describes 59 diverse tours in the surrounding area. These include the tranquil lakes in the northern Alpine foothills, the legendary Untersberg and the Hagen Mountains, the peaceful, karstic Tennengebirge, or the forest-rich Osterhorn group, and of course the adjacent Berchtesgadener Land, which has been culturally connected to Salzburg for centuries in the so-called Rupertiwinkel. The author Sepp Brandl, an excellent connoisseur of the region, has selected the most beautiful hiking opportunities, including relaxing half-day tours.
