Frequently asked questions and answers
Is the Burggrabenklamm gorge still closed?
Yes, the gorge is still closed. There is a danger to life due to falling rocks and the path has already been removed. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible for us to predict when the gorge - in a modified form - can be reopened.
However, the path next to it, the Valerieweg, which also leads to the Eisenauer Alm and Schwarzensee, is accessible. Alternative and open excursion destinations nearby are the Nixenfall and the Gimbach cascades.
Which mountain pastures and huts are open in the Attersee-Attergau region?
Födinger Alm Weyregg (without overnight accommodation), Hochleckenhaus Steinbach am Attersee (with overnight accommodation), Kreuzinger Alm Weyregg (without overnight accommodation). You can find more mountain huts and lodges here.
What can we do in bad weather (with/without children)?
You can find our tips for rainy weather on this page
Where can you swim with your dog at Lake Attersee?
Dogs are not permitted in the lidos, on the public bathing areas or on the bathing areas of the province of Upper Austria.
However, there is a bathing area on Lake Attersee between the villages of Schörfling and Steinbach, outside the village areas. There are always small green areas between the road and the lake. These areas are very popular, as you are among your own people and swimming with your dog is not prohibited.
Bathing is also permitted on the promenades, as in Attersee am Attersee (unless there is a prohibition sign). The same applies between Unterach and Steinbach at the diving entry points and in the Weißenbachtal valley.
