Koppl with Nockstein, Moor and Museum

For a trip to Koppl, you can organise nature, hiking and cultural themes according to your interests. Nockstein and Koppler Moor offer different perspectives on nature, while the Manro Classic Auto&Music Museum adds a cultural touch. The Koppl archery course and the route “From Koppl via Gaisberg to Glasenbach” are also specific topics to consider when planning. You can decide whether to focus your stay more on views, natural landscapes, the museum or a named route.

Nockstein and Koppler Moor

At 1,042 metres, Nockstein is a popular excursion destination and the landmark of the municipality of Koppl. From there, the view extends across the Flachgau and into the Salzkammergut. Nockstein can be reached from Koppl town centre via routes 70, 70a and 72. This lets you match the route numbers to the stated starting point in the town centre and the destination, Nockstein. Check local trail conditions before setting out. A Nordic walking and hiking map for Koppl is also available to download as a PDF as an additional planning resource.

Koppler Moor offers a different view of nature. Various sedge species and heather grow throughout the area, and there are also different berry plants and orchids. The moor is an appealing natural area for hikers and nature enthusiasts and should be treated with care. At Nockstein, the focus is on elevation and views; at the moor, it is on vegetation and considerate use. This distinction can help you decide how to prioritise your nature interests for the trip.

Museum and other interests

At the Manro Classic Auto&Music Museum, you can see classic cars and motorcycles. On display are also nostalgic jukeboxes, musical instruments and automobilia. The collection therefore covers several themes: historic vehicles, music-related objects and items connected with automobiles. The museum also has a Carrera racetrack modelled on the adjoining Salzburgring. Visitors can drive a lap on it. So, in addition to viewing the exhibits, there is also an opportunity to take part in an activity.

The Koppl archery course is located in a wooded area below Nockstein. It adds another clearly defined focus to the nature-related themes. When deciding what interests you, you can therefore consider views, moorland vegetation, the museum and the archery course as different options, without combining them into a single excursion theme.
