The Salzkammergut

Austria's Lake district, the area is one of spectacular scenery and glacier carved troughs.  Watersports are very popular with windsurfing, water skiing and just swimming being high on the agenda, but as the paeks are not as stepp or high as further south, hill walking and mountain biking are also poular.

Wolfgangersee and Hallstattersee are the two most accessible lakes, Bad Ischl is a good base for visiting both.  The train travels from here to Hallstatt and buses run to St Wolfgang. 
Another village in the region is St Gilgen. The village is located on the shores of the Wolfgangersee and boats sail from here around the lake, affording majestic views. the village was the home of Mozarts grandfather and birth place of his mother.
