Salzburg to the Tyrol
Mountains, Lakes and Mozart on the St. James Way
- 8 Days / 7 Nights
- Self-Guided
- Transfer Trumer Seen-Oberhofen included
Individual arrival in the Trummer Lakes area.
Transfer to the border to Oberhofen am Irrsee, where the Salzburg Jakobsweg begins. First, your walk leads through a hilly landscape to the Wallersee. From there you continue your route through the idyllic nature reserve to Eugendorf.
Eugendorf - Salzburg
In the distance, you can already see the mountains that you will walk along the next few days. Take a leisurely stroll to Salzburg, where you'll find beautiful churches, pretty alleys and squares, and the best way to invigorate your inner being with a portion of Salzburg dumplings. A detour to the Maria Plain pilgrimage church, which towers high above Salzburg, is recommended.
Your walk leads out of town towards Untersberg. At Marzoll Castle, you cross the border into the Bavarian Rupertiwinkl before arriving at the remarkable salt metropolis of Bad Reichenhall. There you can relax in the warm brine of the thermal baths, visit the spa gardens and visit the old salt factory.
Bad Reichenhall - Unken
Today you follow the Saalach back to the Salzburg region. You walk along the Saalachsee and deeper into the mountains. Your path leads partly directly to the banks of the Saalach, which flows wildly but also romantically over rocks through the landscape.
Unken - Waidring
You continue to follow the Saalach, past gorges and waterfalls to Lofer. The quiet mountain town, surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Loferer Steinberge, the Reiter Alpe and the Loferer Alm, invites you to take a rest. Then it goes up to the Strubpass, where you now walk on the Tyrolean Jakobsweg to Waidring.
Past Pillersee with its glittering water surface and famous pilgrimage church, we continue to St. Jakob, where the mighty Jakobskreuz greets you from the mountaintop. A path with many views leads you to St. Johann in Tirol, idyllically situated between the Kitzbüheler Alpen and the rocky peaks of the Wilder Kaiser massif.
Return trip or extension
Your walking holiday ends after breakfast, but you can of course postpone the goodbye and make more memories by extending your trip.
Route information
The routes are generally easy, with two long legs that can be shortened by bus if desired. You usually walk on asphalt paths, forest paths and hiking trails. The height differences are very small because you are walking in the valley.
