房源位置

It's difficult to know where to start. The region contains some of the most spectacular baroque monasteries and churches in Central Europe (Lambach, Kremsmünster, Schlierbach, St. Florian, Traunkirchen, St. Wolfgang); the Austrian national horse centre (Stadl Paura), which is just 2 miles away; the beautiful historical towns and villages of Salzkammergut (Hallstatt, Bad Ischl, Gmunden, Aussee); the Natura 2000 nature reserve spanning Wimsbach itself; a number of spas (including Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting and Bad Schallerbach); the Alps within walking distance (Wimsbach is in the Alpine foothills, and on a clear day, you can see the Dachstein Glacier from Wimsbach); endless cake and coffee shops (this is Austria, after all); and countless fabulously clear rivers and lakes (Almsee, Traunsee, Attersee, Wolfgansee, Mondsee). Added to that, the city of Salzburg (the home of the Salzburg Festival and the Sound of Music) is a quick car or train ride away.

Wimsbach has its own station. The local train (which can best be described as cute) connects to mainline services to the north and to regional routes into the Alps to the south. Gmunden, Bad Ischl, Hallstatt and Aussee are all easily reached by train, as are the Salzkammergut lakes and Salzburg and Vienna. Wimsbach is 4 miles from the nearest motorway (A1). Virtually all the local attractions can be reached by e-bike, and countless cycling routes keep one away from much of the heavy traffic. The area around Wimsbach is hilly, but not extremely so, which means that a normal bicycle gets one to many sights, and bicycles can of course be taken on the trains. There are all sorts of cheap train ticket offers for tourists. The roads are generally good, but a couple of key destinations like Hallstatt have very limited parking, so a train or train/car solution can often be the better option.
