Lake Fuschl
The Fuschl lake is endowed with many facets depending on its moods. Some
days it is deep emerald green in colour, next day like a million
sparkling gems dancing on the surface of the water. This one cannot
influence, it is nature’s game with the winds and the sunshine.
Classic Cars
Mozart, festivals, the historical Christmas market - nowhere does the
pat come alive more vividly than in the Salzburg region. Roll back the
years with a romantic excursion in one of the hotel’s own vintage cars,
limousines and Rolls Royce.
Cooking Academy

than just the memories of excellent meals, you can learn how to cook
these delicacies yourself at the Cooking Academy at Hotel Schloss Fuschl.
Nordic Walking
Nordic Walking is already well established as a fixed sport in the
Fuschlsee region. The lake landscape offers an ideal starting point for
varied tours. This sport is particularly popular as it is easy to learn
and is beneficial for the body.
Hiking
Even 1000 colours would not be enough to describe the beauty of the
landscape, and one only needs a few foot steps to immerse into the
stillness of our forests and woodlands. Hiking in the Fuschlsee region
means revitalising ones energy, not losing it.
Skiing
With over 130 kilometres of well-prepared trails, the Fuschlsee region
has an excellent reputation amongst cross-country skiers. Particularly
the resort of Faistenau with approximately 60 kilometres of good trails
as well as extra services is a must for cross-country enthusiasts.
Plentiful parking, changing rooms, showers and toilets, ski hire and
service room are available for the ambitious as well as nature loving
cross-country skiers.
Children's activities
For children the region surrounding Lake Fuschl is a huge adventure
playground. The diverse leisure pursuits offered by nature - mountains
to scramble up, a lake to swim in, meadows to play in - are complemented
by the property’s very own programme of activities that will leave even
the most active children breathless. |

A
baroque city on the banks of the Salzach River, Salzburg is the
beautiful capital of Land Salzburg. This former site of the Roman town
of Juvavum is set against a pristine mountain backdrop. The city and the
river were named after the early residents who earned their living in
the region's salt mines.
This
"heart of the heart of Europe" is the city of Mozart, who was born here
in 1756. The composer's association with the city continues to draw
loads of tourist revenue and tourists, who come to visit this favorite
son's birthplace, the Geburtshaus, an old burgher's house.
The
Old Town lies on the left bank of the river, where a monastery and
bishopric were founded in A.D. 700. From that simple start, Salzburg
grew in power and prestige, becoming an archbishopric see in 798. At the
height of the prince-archbishop's power, the city was known as the
"German Rome." On medieval maps, the little province of Land Salzburg
was titled "church lands." Long a part of the Holy Roman Empire, Land
Salzburg was joined to Austria in 1816 following the Congress of Vienna.
Salzburg, a city of 17th- and 18th-century houses, is internationally
known for its architectural grandeur. Much of the work was done by the
masters of the baroque, Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lukas von
Hildebrandt. The Salzburg Cathedral is the first deliberately
Italian-style church to be built north of the Alps. Several beautiful
castles and palaces dot the city: Hohensalzburg Fortress, the former
stronghold of the prince-archbishops of Salzburg; Residenz, an opulent
palace and seat of the Salzburg prince-archbishops after they abandoned
the gloomy Hohensalzburg; and Schloss Hellbrunn, 5km (3 miles) south of
the city, summer residence of the prince-archbishops. The beautifully
baroque Mirabell Gardens were laid out by the famous Fischer von Erlach.
The
city is the setting for The Salzburg Festival, a world-renowned annual
event that attracts music lovers, especially Mozart fans, from all over
the globe. Salzburg was also the setting for The Sound of Music; yes,
the hills are alive with music -- and reachable by tour.
Ever
since the end of World War II, Salzburg has had a strong American
connection. While the Soviets occupied a section of Vienna and Lower
Austria, Salzburg was a part of the American zone. The real postwar
economy didn't develop in Eastern Austria until 1955 when the Russians
pulled out. However, economic development began in Salzburg right at the
end of the war, giving the city a 10-year head start and cementing its
friendship with the United States. |
