For once, there's not too much to tell here. The route I chose was actually the Auenerlebnisweg. The circular route around the Ausee is suitable for Visitors with restricted mobility<\/span> (wheelchair, walking frame, ...) wonderfully suitable. Most of this barrier-free circuit consists of a great, firm gravel path. This is perfect for being mobile with a pushchair and getting from A to B without any problems. <\/p>\nOf course, a short detour to the Salzach was also a must. It flows along the border between Austria and Germany, just a 10-minute walk away. We walked along it for a short distance, following a forest path for a few hundred metres. Up to the Salzach platform at a viewpoint. A beautiful, stony sandbank invites you to take a short break here. This spot is simply marvellous. Enjoy the moment, but don't forget the time, we're only halfway there. On the way back, there are a few more places to rest with a fantastic view of the Weitw\u00f6rther Ausee. <\/p>\n

On a small peninsula in the Aussee lake, a bird hide - a sheltered, roofed shelter - allows the undisturbed observation of the bird world.<\/span> Over 70 bird species breed in the Salzach floodplains, as well as migratory birds that rest in the lake. In addition to various species of ducks, greylag geese, cormorants, goosanders and great crested grebes on or in the water, various species of woodpecker can also be spotted in the surrounding trees from the hide.<\/p>\nRefreshment stops<\/h4>\n
The Weitw\u00f6rther Au circular trail doesn't just have to be my 5 kilometre route. You can walk around endlessly and conjure up a huge tour. But what I definitely want to do on one of my next visits is the walk to Oberndorf near Salzburg or Laufen. It's a 50-minute walk along the Salzach to Oberndorf. The perfect route in summer. The Weitw\u00f6rther Au has no refreshment stops, but it doesn't need them. The beautiful, approximately 4-kilometre-long trail takes you to more than just one restaurant. Yes, and what could be better than a short trip for a coffee or a delicious ice cream?.<\/p>\n
The Silent Night Chapel<\/h4>\n
Of course, I also have a little attraction for you. As we all know, the best is saved for last. I didn't know this sight and the story behind it before, but I find it really interesting. The chapel is located in Oberndorf near Salzburg and is dedicated to the poet and composer of our beloved Christmas carol \u201eSilent Night, Holy Night\u201c. The song was performed here for the first time on 24 December 1818. If you are interested in such stories or buildings, I can only recommend that you pay a visit to the \u201eSilent Night Chapel\u201c.<\/p>\n

For the most part, I am only travelling in Upper Austria and we have wonderful places and excursion destinations here. But after the Weitw\u00f6rther Au circular route, I have to admit that Salzburg is in no way inferior. I find it an incredibly beautiful and cosy route. The peace and quiet that you rarely get to enjoy anywhere else. The trail, which has been designed with so much love, is simply fantastic.<\/p>\n
There are also so many options here and you can really let off steam. Take the \u201eAuenerlebnisweg\u201c or continue to the Salzach and extend the tour a little. If that's still not enough, simply take a walk to Oberndorf or Laufen. Here you can be enchanted by the pubs and fortify yourself with coffee or a delicious ice cream. You can explore the beautiful village of Laufen or visit the \u201eSilent Night Chapel\u201c. At this point, I can only tell you one thing - it was my first visit to Weitw\u00f6rth, but definitely not my last. <\/p>\n
