Straß Im Attergau: Views, Salt Experience and Kronberg

When choosing a destination for a hotel stay, it helps to consider the activities you actually want to include in your plans. Straß Im Attergau offers a range of options: views of Lake Attersee and the Attergau region, the 2 Kronberg Circular Trail, KristallSalzWelt and seasonal winter activities. Before looking for a hotel, consider whether a scenic tour, a salt experience, archery or winter sports will be the focus of your trip. The differences below will help you assess each option for your travel dates.

Views and the Kronberg Circular Trail

From Kronbergplatz, the panoramic view extends across Lake Attersee and the Attergau landscape. The Attergau Observation Tower offers unobstructed views of Traunstein, the Höllengebirge range, Lake Attersee and Dachstein. From Kronbergplatz, you can see the lake and the Attergau region; from the tower, three additional named destinations come into view.

Kronberg Chapel also offers views of the Attergau region and Lake Attersee, and is the starting point for the 2 Kronberg Circular Trail. The trail combines views, relaxation and an experience of nature. If you would like to combine these three aspects in one outing, you can add it to your plans as a specific idea.
