“Glücksplätze” - Places of happiness

Holiday for body and soul

Switch off and recharge the energy of life - this is the goal of many hikers and nature lovers who visit the numerous “Glücksplätze” (Places of happiness) each year in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut - whatever the season or weather!

Switch off rather than switching over

For once let your spirit roam free, be one with nature and sit back and completely relax. This is the reason visitors from all over the world continue to visit the numerous “Glücksplätze” (Places of happiness) in the Salzkammergut each year. For happiness is a state of inner strength and equilibrium, self-discovery and responsibility. Anyone who has ever watched the sunset from the comfortable bench, at the edge of the small Koppenwinkel lake in Obertraun, will know what power these very special places give off. Here we have selected the most beautiful places of happiness with their unique history in Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt, Gosau, Hallstatt and Obertraun. Switch off, instead of just in changing program! We hope you enjoy discovering the places of happiness in and around the Lake Hallstatt area!
