Sankt Martin Am Tennengebirge: Trails, Moorlands and Leisure Activities

When planning a hotel stay in Sankt Martin Am Tennengebirge, you can shape your trip around specific landscapes and leisure activities. Highlights include hiking and walking trails, the moorlands around Gerzkopf, and selected routes and leisure facilities. This lets you plan your trip around its main focus: nature, cycling, local history or seasonal activities.

Getting your bearings in the municipality

The municipality of St. Martin am Tennengebirge lies on the Paß-Gschütt-Landesstraße B 166, also known as the Salzburger Dolomitenstraße. The pass near St. Martin marks the watershed between the Lammer and the Fritzbach. This provides two distinct geographical reference points for getting your bearings: the named regional road and the pass with its watershed.

Hiking trails and moorlands

The Gerzkopf European protected area can be reached from St. Martin via a hiking trail. The trail to the summit of Gerzkopf passes various types of moorland. The “Schwarze Lacke” is also located on Gerzkopf—a high-altitude biotope with a diverse dragonfly fauna. Nature here can be experienced both in the moorlands and in this special habitat for dragonflies.

Another nature stop lies along the Path of Natural Wonders, which passes the Haranger raised bog. The bog dates back to the Ice Age and features rare vegetation as well as orchids. St. Martin has more than 100 km of walking and winter hiking trails. Alongside the landscapes mentioned, walking and winter hiking are therefore also options to consider when planning your trip.

Cycling routes and other activities

Three mountain biking routes start right in the center of St. Martin. The Schwarzenegg route starts in St. Martin and is listed as 10.7 km long (+1.0). The three starting points in the town center and the length given for the Schwarzenegg route offer different reference points for planning a cycling trip. The historic Kaisertour is numbered 73.

The JOLLY themed trail features 13 interactive stations offering playful insights into farm life and the world of animals and plants. The “Woody-Bob” alpine coaster in the Knablleiten area opened in 2022. Winter activities in St. Martin include ice stock sport and toboggan runs. Each offers a different focus: the themed trail brings together various areas of knowledge, while the winter activities are seasonal.

The Seepark St. Martin has a leisure facility with 6,700 m² of water surface. This figure refers to the facility’s water surface; as a leisure activity, it adds a different focus to the trails and routes during your stay.
