Hiking routes around the Mondsee Lake

Early birds will really enjoy watching the sunrise over the Mondsee Lake. Take a hike on the Schafberg or the Schober Mountain and see the animals that live in the forest, like young deer or chamois. You’ll have a fantastic view of the lake below you, where you can go for a swim after your hike. You’ll also find several mountain huts, where you can sit on the terrace, enjoy the sunshine and taste some regional delicacies and homemade snacks.

Via ferratas

If you are looking for adventure and new challenges during your hiking holiday in Mondsee, go to the Drachenwand, where one of Austria’s most impressive via ferratas can be found. It takes a lot of courage to do this two-hour hike with an altitude difference of 400 metres.

The team at the Mondsee Castle Hotel will gladly organise a professional guide for you, who will accompany you on your hike or your climbing experience.
