So what's it like?
Walking
Choose your route from 150 kilometres of marked walks in and around Fuschl. Grab your boots and set off for the ideal 11.8 kilometre walk around the lake. Stroll along or dip your toes in the crystal clear waters as the path follows the contours of the water’s edge, giving you an uninterrupted and stunning view. Get an idea for the flora and fauna of the area from the nature trail, noted in English and German. For your next outing, try tracing the route of the Ellmau stein, passing the old mill and watch demonstrations of traditional flour-grinding. Or if you fancy more of a hike, follow the route over the 'Mozartblick' (Mozart's view) to St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgangsee.
Why not try- Stretching a few new muscle and having a go at rowing across the lake for a stroll on the other side
- Trying out Nordic walking - the tourist office runs taster sessions weekly through the summer
- Taking the kids on a gnome hunting mission on a woodland path - just follow the signs for the 'Zwergerlweg'!
Culture
Take time to relax and stroll around this tranquil and picturesque village. Begin to understand how the area became the inspiration to numerous beautiful works by the likes of Ludwig Richter, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Heinrich August Noé.
Explore Fuschl and take your pick from many excellent restaurants and sample the fabulous local cuisine. In high season sit out on a café terrace and watch the sun go down whilst enjoying open-air concerts in the centre.
Why not try -- Taking to the lake by boat, and stop off at the Fuschl Castle fishery for some delicious smoked fish.
