The natural wonders of Pinzgau
The Tauern mountain range, which runs through Pinzgau, is home to an astonishing variety of flora and fauna and the bald eagle is amongst the rare birds often sighted in this region. The Hohe Tauern affords visitors dramatic views of the surroundings and is Austria's most acclaimed national park. Of particular note is the view from the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße Road, which is the country's second most popular attraction after the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, and the Krimmler Wasserfälle (Krimml Waterfalls) which, with a total height of 380 metres, is the highest waterfall in Austria. It is possible to rent equipment from mountain sports companies in the area who often offer free ski buses up to the slopes of the Zillertal and Wildkogel Arenas.
A region steeped in history and culture
The region's centuries old parish church dates back to 1469 and commands immense respect from the town's inhabitants despite its modest size. The Sixtuskapelle chapel at Mount Sonnberg and the nearby Augentrostkapelle are also charming. Children will love the themed hiking trail called the Planetenwanderweg ("Planet Hiking Path") as well the planetarium in nearby Wald im Pinzgau. The Mineralienmuseum features gemstones and minerals and offers interesting insights into the region's mining past. A holiday in Pinzgau is good idea for families looking for a peaceful location, with plenty of trekking and adventures thrown in. It is as simple as booking a holiday apartment, holiday home, holiday house or holiday rental and taking on the majestic slopes of Pinzgau.
