Excursion tips in the area
Excursion tips for families during your stay at the Moar Gut
The picturesque Großarl Valley lies in the Salzburg district of Pongau, around 70 km south of the festival city of Salzburg. The impressive Hohe Tauern nature reserve begins at the head of the Großarl Valley. The flora and fauna of Austria’s largest national park are particularly diverse, as the major differences in altitude and the position on the main Alpine ridge bring together different climatic conditions in a very small area.
Festival city of Salzburg
Only about a one-hour drive from the Moar Gut: Salzburg, one of Europe’s most beautiful cities and the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Eisriesenwelt ice cave
Visit the largest ice cave in the world – only about 40 minutes from the Moar Gut. From May to the end of October you can immerse yourself in this fascinating world of ice. An experience for young and old.
Hohe Tauern National Park
The largest national park in Central Europe boasts the biggest glacier areas in the Eastern Alps, breathtaking waterfalls, tranquil mountain lakes and thundering glacial streams. The Moar Gut is just a few minutes’ drive away.
Gorge
The Liechtenstein Gorge in St. Johann is a true natural spectacle that delights children and adults alike. Only a 20-minute drive from the Moar Gut.
Hohenwerfen Castle
Hohenwerfen Castle sits impressively on a steep rocky cone in the Salzach Valley near Werfen and dates back to the 11th century. It once served as a defensive fortress and prison and is now a popular attraction. It is particularly well known for its birds-of-prey flying displays and its spectacular views of the Alps.
