Hiking through the Salzkammergut
Hiking on the Bad Ischl Hiking Day on National Day is attractive because of the imperial heritage and the picturesque landscape of the Salzkammergut. The town of Bad Ischl is closely linked to the history of Emperor Franz Joseph and Sisi, who celebrated their engagement here, and offers a unique blend of historical flair and natural beauty.
Tradition and customs
Bad Ischl was a popular place of residence for the imperial family. The engagement of Sisi and Franz Joseph took place here, which gives the place a unique historical charm that can be experienced during a day of hiking. A hiking day in Bad Ischl combines physical activity in nature with the cultural experience of the historic spa town and the imperial villa, which makes it a special experience.
Hiking to the Wildenstein ruins
The ruins of Wildenstein are the remains of a medieval hilltop castle in Bad Ischl, which was strategically built on a steep rocky outcrop above the village and served as the only castle in the Inner Salzkammergut. The complex was first mentioned in a document in 1392, was the seat of the imperial caretakers from 1419 and fell into disrepair after a devastating fire in 1715. Today, the ruins are accessible all year round with free admission and offer a magnificent view of Bad Ischl.
The hike, which is no problem even for inexperienced hikers, will be accompanied again this year by the Bad Ischl city guides, who tell historical, cultural and humorous stories.
