Bad Gastein

Highlight • Waterfall

Bad Gastein is a charming spa town in a gigantic natural landscape. Its climatic, warm springs and baths are unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Bad Gastein is known for its beautiful buildings from the "Belle Epoque". Another special feature is the location of the center, which was created on the steep slopes around the waterfall. Very steep and narrow streets characterize the town center. On the cliffs of the slopes were built to save space multi-storey houses, so that the place is also affectionately called "skyscraper village". If you are on the Alpe Adria bike path, you should definitely stop here and let this special atmosphere take effect. Of course, the spa Pedaleuren offers everything you could wish for - from a thermal bath to Radler on set accommodations.

Pilgrimage Church of Maria vom Guten Rat

Highlight • Religious Site

If you leave the lively Bad Gastein town center behind you and continue towards the head of the valley, you will soon reach the much quieter Böckstein. The small village between steep mountain walls offers everything that the athlete and nature lover could desire: from cross-country skiing to wonderful hiking opportunities. In Altböckstein there are several old stone houses, there is a mining museum and, slightly elevated, next to an impressive hunting lodge, there is this pretty little chapel.

Kesselfall Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The old stone bridge was built by prisoners of war during the 1st World War. It was needed for the access to the Imbergstollen, in which the former gold mining was reactivated at that time.
Here at this point is a beautifully situated bench for a break during the ascent with a view of the old bridge. When the valley is in the shade further down in late summer and autumn (the last viewing bench a little further down is then in the shade), the sun is much longer here.
The further path leads over the bridge and shortly thereafter through a rock opening, a "tunnel" of only a few meters in length. You have made more than half of the ascent here, but the two most severe climbs are still to come.
