Hiking paradise Gastein in the National Park Hohe Tauern - Austria
Hike through the fascinating world of Gastein's mountains in Austria!
Hiking hand in hand across mountain meadows in bloom. Allowing your eyes to roam over Alpine giants and imposing glaciers. Taking a deep breath of that clear, fragrant air. Gazing in awe at a golden eagle in flight. Children's laughter and the jingling of cowbells in your ears, as the high pastures come into view.
When June arrives, as in countless centuries past, the time has come: The farmers leave the Gastein Valley with their cattle and head for the high pastures. The fragrant Alpine herbs and flowers, the mountain air and the sunshine allow the animals to grow and thrive. And with them, of course, come all those home-produced treats which are simply waiting for you to discover at Gastein's 55 mountain inns! 350 kilometres of hiking trails offer a broad range of opportunities for families with children, as well as for all fans of the high-Alpine countryside.
