Sights in Bad Hofgastein - Gastein Valley, Salzburg
Parish Church:
A place of contemplation and a historic monument of great beauty. The so-called Church of Our Lady was built between 1498 and 1507. At its heart is a magnificent Baroque altar which entered the annals of art as the great masterpiece of the painter Josef Andrä Eisl and sculptor Paul Mödlhammer.
Weitmoserschlössl Castle:
Dine like royalty. This Late Gothic castle in the typical Salzburg style dates from the year 1554 and the days when gold- and silver-mining were at their height. Today, this little gem delights our visitors with its café and restaurant.
Birdwatching Path:
Head out on your own two feet to explore the world of birds. A quite special nature experience, a walk during which you can come into direct contact with native wildlife. The starting point is at the Pyrkerhöhe Aparthotel & Restaurant, 20 minutes from the “Talstation” city bus stop.

Dizzying heights. An easy hike along the Gastein Höhenweg (high path) leads to the Gadaunere Gorge, only 20 minutes from the “Gadaunern” city bus stop. Impressive views of the depths below!
