Het beste van Hochkönig

Hochkönig Essentials

The Hochkönig region in the Salzburg Alps encompasses dramatic limestone massifs and medieval heritage. This selection includes the 2,941-meter Hochkönig summit and its plateau glacier, the Übergossene Alm, alongside the 11th-century Hohenwerfen Fortress. Sports history is represented by the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze, a key venue of the Four Hills Tournament in Bischofshofen. Natural highlights like the Gainfeld Waterfall and the unique Torsäule rock formation complement cultural sites such as the historic water mills in Pfarrwerfen.
