Introduction
Home of Mozart, the great Artist, Salzburg is one of the smallest states in Austria. If you want to be surrounded by the Alps in a sunny environment then consider going for Salzburg Vacations. You have peace, greenery and availability of rich and rare culture. Some of its main states include Salzburg (the city and the state’s capital), Flachau, Kaprun and some villages like Grödig . Salzburg vacations are almost unheard of but the real fun actually lies in the fact that this place has not been explored like all others. You could be one of the first ones to do that.
History
Grodig is very popular for tourists wanting nice summer Salzburg Vacations. It’s just a small village outside of Salzburg, 8 km away. It’s quite outstanding how this peaceful little village exists in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Salzburg. Here you will experience great sceneries as it is located right at the base of the magnificent Untersberg Mountains.
Features
Salzburg vacations provide peace and quiet for a nice relaxation time and easily allows you to be near nature especially if you visit the Fuschlsee Lake and the Königssee Lake. These lakes make you escape the summer heat and just cool off in the cool waters. It’s quite romantic if you’re coming as a couple and very relaxing for families. The city of Salzburg is very particular about preserving its culture and origins. That can be seen when you visit the old town of Salzburg. The place was designated a world heritage site by UNESCO because of its splendid architecture and rich culture. The city features buildings from the eras of the middle ages, the Renaissance, Romanesque as well as the monarchy. Almost all ages left their mark in Salzburg. The whole view is back dropped by a fortress. This is also the city’s main landmark. It’s hundreds of years old and one of the most well preserved castles in Central Europe. Inside the castle, you’ll find two museums, a Puppet museum and another is the fortress museum. It is highly recommended to take a nearly 20-25 minutes climb up to the fort instead of the elevator because of the great views and sceneries you’ll be getting to see along the way.
Tips and comments
Up till now your Salzburg vacations have offered you a nice relaxing village near the lake to reside in and rich and cultural heritage sites. Now if you want to pump it up and party a little, then you can visit the pubs in the region. The Shamrock Irish pub is very popular amongst young and old people. The Club features Irish and Austrian drinks, great food and a pretty nifty musical environment. And if you’re still bored then you can always take yourself and the family out to the great Untersberg Mountains. The mountains have endless adventurous activities. Hiking up the mountains, cycling along the dirt paths, Nordic Walking treks, all offer you a great chance to explore and take in the beauty of the region. In the summer you’ll be able to capture the view of lush meadows and further up the mountain see fable vistas. If you’re a golfer then the Salzburg Golf club owns a course near the mountains. The 9-hole course is a favorite among pros and amateurs.
