Haus - Must-see attractions
Großsölk Castle
The Großsölk Castle, built in the 14th century in Styria, looks back on a long tradition and strategically important function for the former trade routes over the Sölk Pass. In the courtyard of the house, you can admire the Jesuit garden, recognized as a teaching and show garden. Numerous hiking trails begin around the castle, ranging from short, family-friendly tours under 5 km in length to difficult routes including via ferratas. One of the classics is the 14 km long "5-Hut Trail" starting in Ramsau.
Riesach Waterfalls
The Riesach Waterfalls in Austria are part of the themed hiking trail Wild Water and captivate with their two cascading levels into the Hell Gorge. This natural wonder is fed by the Riesachbach and begins to plunge down from the Riesachsee at an altitude of 1,338 meters. You can start your hike to the Riesach Waterfalls at the Gasthaus Riesachfall, which is located right at the lower end. After about ten minutes, you reach the small Riesachfall and after half an hour, the larger counterpart.
Styrian Lake Constance
There are many hiking opportunities around the Styrian Bodensee. For families, the approximately 3 km long circular trail is recommended. Since it runs on flat terrain, it is also suitable for smaller children. The tour to the romantic waterfall trail is longer. Near the Styrian Bodensee, there are numerous places to stop for refreshments. You can try fresh fish, Styrian delicacies, Schladminger beer, and more. A rowing trip across the lake is fun. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed in the natural body of water.
