Outings to the ice caves in Obertraun
Outings to the salt mine museum in Altaussee, new for 2005, just 5 minutes from Ausseerland. It is in these very salt mines where Hitler secreted confiscated treasures during the second world war.
Visit the romantic, mystical setting of Lake Toplitz and enjoy a boat tour of this and other adjoining lakes.

To this day it is a divers paradise with many trying to discover further riches.
