Wild swimming
in the Salzburger Saalachtal
Even when the temperatures rise, nothing stands in the way of a hike or (e-)bike tour with your kids. It’s just a matter of choosing the right tour. And what’s the perfect way to cool off on a summer’s day? The wild waters along the way, of course, which are always with you in the Salzburger Saalachtal.
Wild and pristine water can be experienced in the Salzburger Saalachtal in all of its forms, with all of your senses. There are more places to dive into the invigorating water and experience its refreshing power than in virtually any other region. „Wild Swimming“ means more than just marvelling at water in all of its beauty; it also means discovering new places where you can plunge in to cool down.
Whether your hiking tour takes you along the bathing bays of the Saalach in the valley, through rushing gorges or along clear mountain lakes high up on the mountain, your kids will enjoy the refreshment during or at the end of the tour. So make the most of the magical attraction of water and make the journey a destination for your kids.
Wild swimming in the Salzburger Saalachtal offers unrivalled nature experiences, but also harbours certain risks. Please check the current water conditions carefully, never swim alone and always choose safe entry points. Be aware of dangerous areas such as rocks and currents, avoid swimming in unsafe weather and only go into the water if you feel healthy. We ask you to respect nature: Don’t leave any rubbish behind and don’t disturb the wildlife. Enjoy wild swimming responsibly and safely.
