With the current hot summer temperatures, short, beautiful sunset hikes are very well suited. Today's tip I have for you is the Kaltenbach wildness. \ud83c\udf05<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kaltenbach wilderness is one of my favourite places in the Salzkammergut. \ud83e\udef6 It's no wonder, then, that there are already numerous blog posts about it. For example, combinations with the \u00dcberraschung or the Schlosskogel, or even with both. \ud83d\ude04 You can also easily combine it with the Miesweg or even the Gr\u00fcnberg and the Laudachsee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for anyone who only wants a short trip: the Kaltenbach wilderness alone is absolutely breathtaking. \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I'll just show you the view of the Traunsee. The Kaltenbach wilderness itself is beautiful, and I thought I simply didn't want to deprive you of the 'wow' moment. Visit the place and enjoy the surprise. \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone who still wants to see photos: Just enter them in the search box above. I've shared pictures of the Kaltenbach wilderness in the other posts. \ud83d\udcf8<\/p>\n\n\n

The hike through the Kaltenbach wilderness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I find the Kaltenbach wilderness absolutely stunning. Right next to the Traunsee with swimming opportunities, a small, beautiful path, and also done relatively quickly. Please don't forget that it is still a hike and should be classified as alpine, even if it's rather easy. \u26f0\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find this place absolutely ideal for recharging my batteries. I really enjoy being here! \ud83e\udef6<\/p>\n\n\n\n
