Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Exodus 5 Day Salzkammergut Lakes Walk - Short Stay. The Salzkammergut area is one of the most impressive regions in the heart of Austria. This lake district boasts 76 lakes and a beautiful mountain backdrop. It is also home to some cultural and historical highlights.

On your 4 night self-guided tour you'll enjoy a mix of spectacular scenic views, gentle shoreline routes, wooded forest trails and 'chocolate box' villages. The walks are relaxed, following mainly well-marked routes, and on some days these can be extended.

You'll stay in St Wolfgang, read more renowned for its beautiful 15th century church, the wonderful riverside spa town of Bad Ischl - a favourite summer holiday retreat of Emperor Franz Joseph. Although it's almost 100 years since the emperor was last there, his presence is still felt in the region, and you can explore the Kaiservilla, his former holiday home. A highlight of the trip is a stay in the UNESCO village of Halstatt.

At Exodus, we love adventure travel and always have. Discovering countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts and jungles; exploring this amazing planet we all live on. We know what makes you tick when it comes to holidays. It’s a desire shared by so many others. A yearning to visit new places more and come home with a real sense of what they’re all about. This means delving into local traditions, cultures, cuisine, lifestyles – anything that contributes to its unique identity. At the same time, we always remember that we are only guests. So we travel courteously and respectfully, in smaller groups to minimise our impact, to ensure that every Exodus holiday is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.
