SalzburgerLand in Austria: 5 cool activities for the holidays is written by Laura Graf

Holiday at speed in SalzburgerLand
Are you looking for inspiration for your next one? travel to Austria? Then help is near.
In the mountains, there is always something to do and plenty of cool experiences that you won't soon forget. Experience SalzburgerLand by bike or on foot, fly over the treetops in zipline or take an inflatable boat down the wild rivers. And when the adrenaline-filled day is over, you can relax in one of the area's unique hotels. There is enough to get started with.
SalzburgerLand has many activities to offer, depending on what season you travel there.
Winter offers skiing and snowboarding in the beautiful Alps, and here there are plenty of fantastic ski resorts for a wonderful winter holiday in SalzburgerLand.
But in this guide you get 5 great recommendations for activities for the holiday outside the winter season, when you traveling around SalzburgerLand based on my late summer trip to Austria. There is something for everyone – both those who want to speed over the field and those who want to see the many beauties nature experiences in SalzburgerLand.

Ready, set, go - Austria's cycling paradise
There is something for every two-wheeled taste in SalzburgerLand; whether you are into regular cycling, Downhill or a more relaxed ride on an electric bike. A clear recommendation for a wild and fun experience is to try Epic bike park Leogang.
In the cycle park there are challenging and exciting routes and jumps for the more experienced, and at the same time there is also plenty of fun for the beginner. Experienced bike guides teach you the basics by riding down the hills, and you will very quickly be ready to try your hand at the first routes.

Below the surface - explore the local caves and mines
Are you brave enough for an experience below the surface of the earth? In the cave Lamprechtshöhle you can go exploring in one of the world's largest cave systems and learn all about the history of the caves and how they came to be.
You can also go with a local guide through the large tunnel system in the open-pit mine in Leogang, which was excavated by hand, and hear about the laborious and not least dangerous work of the miners when they excavated minerals directly from the rocks in the past.

Adrenaline throughout the body - at full speed down a zipline of 1600 meters
Is there anything better than feeling the adrenaline pumping through your entire body? Flying Fox XXL, which is among SalzburgerLand's top attractions, is one of the fastest and longest cable cars in the world, reaching a height of 143 meters above the ground!
Cable car is perhaps not the best term, because in fact you drive across the treetops in the valley at up to 130 kilometers per hour, and it is an almost unreal experience.
It's an experience you will not forget right away, and it's probably the closest you get to feeling free as a bird. A very fast bird, mind you.

Wet water trip - whitewater rafting with the mountain tops as a background
Put on your wetsuit and helmet, because now it's going fast!
If you are into high waves and adrenaline, then whitewater rafting with the mountains in the background might just be for you.
As soon as you first get soaked by the cold water of the river Saalachs, you will be very happy with your neoprene wetsuit. It will happen again and again on the way down the river. There's speed across the field and slap on the river, so if you want to get your heart pumping, this is definitely an activity for you.
The boys from Base Camp will probably have to make sure that the inflatable boat hits every single eddy and 'rapid' on the way down, so you are guaranteed a very wet and extremely fun trip. If you are looking for an activity with speed over the field in SalzburgerLand, then this is an obvious choice.

Unplug and relax – SalzburgerLand has a hotel for every temperament
Are you ready for full-on relaxation? So I have two recommendations for hotels in SalzburgerLand.
The hotel Salzburger Hof Leogang has a brand new large spa area with saunas and an 'infinity pool' with panoramic views of the mountain tops on both sides of the valley. After a day of calorie burning, you can enjoy the hotel's five-course gourmet menu with a clear conscience.
The hotel The stonemason is housed in an old building from 1606, and is not exactly what one would expect in a small mountain village. This hip hotel has a completely unique atmosphere - or vibe - thanks to the two passionate owners.
Their attention to detail and their great love for the place are guaranteed to make your stay even better. As an added bonus, the hotel has a private sauna, all-day breakfast and excellent Spanish-inspired cuisine.
If you don't want to go home from SalzburgerLand again, we understand.
Good travel to SalzburgerLand, good travel to Austria.
