> Grafenberg Mountain You can use the Grafenberg gondola to take you comfortably up to 1,700 metres above sea level. A magnificent view opens up to the surrounding peaks and to the town of Wagrain from a bird’s perspective. Now, the mountain adventure can really get started, because here is the nature and mountain adventure world of “WAGRAINi’s Grafenberg”. And this adventure world has what it takes. Travel by raft and on rope bridges, discover the world of bees along the theme trail, wiz down the Hachau slide to the low rope course, continue on to the climbing stadium, to the swing forest and to the “Trail of Fascination". Understanding nature means experiencing it with all your senses and learning everything about the local animal and plant world. All this is possible here. More than 30 adventure stations guarantee many hours of amusement and new experiences.

By the way, the valley station of the Grafenberg gondola is located approximately 500 metres outside the town centre of Wagrain in the direction of Kleinarl.


> The Liechtensteinklamm Just a few kilometres behind Wagrain towards St. Johann, hidden in a small side valley, is the Liechtensteinklamm, an impressive natural monument. It is amazing to experience how the force of the water created such mighty shapes and chasms over the millennia. The gorge is carved out right in the middle of Großarl Valley. At some locations, the cliffs are so close that the sky only appears as a small strip of light. A walk of about 20 minutes takes visitors to a fairytale-like waterfall at the end of the gorge. On some days, when the weather cooperates, a radiant rainbow rises above the hollow here.

The incredible chasm was named after Duke Johann II of Liechtenstein, whose donation of 600 guilders made it possible to develop the region.


> Lakes Jägersee and Tappenkarsee: A well developed road takes us approximately 10 kilometres away from Wagrain to a gem at the end of the Kleinarl Valley For fans of secluded, primeval and romantic nature, Lake Jägersee is one of the most beautiful places in the immediate vicinity. The sky and mountains reflect in its clear water. Trout cavort, swans and ducks swim majestically and happily around. If you want, you can rent a small boat at the Jägersee Inn and row over to the other bank. It is an idyllic place that invites you to relax away from any stress and adventure. You can enjoy pure nature here.

Just a short distance further, at the end of the valley, you will find another excursion destination – Lake Tappenkarsee.


> Hohenwerfen Fortress and the giant ice caverns Approximately 40 kilometres to the south of the city of Salzburg, visible from far away, awaits a very special excursion destination that is rich in history. High up against the Tennen mountain range, Hohenwerfen Fortress watches over the Salzach Valley. The exhibitions and tours are so vivid that it almost appears to the visitor that the Middle Ages have been awakened to a new life. And sometimes they are able to pry a secret or two out of the old walls. The bird of prey show at the fortress is a unique and very popular attraction.

Hohenwerfen Fortress is easy to reach by the Tauern autobahn and is open daily during the summer. By the way, there is a different type of attraction not far away. The Werfen giant ice caverns are found here, which is the largest ice cave in the world. There is a very rare natural experience waiting to be discovered there.
