Great lookout points over Salzburg One of the best views of Salzburg can be enjoyed from the Högl. This is a higher hill (827 m) made of sandstone from the flysch formation, which appears as a narrow band in front of the Northern Limestone Alps. The particularly rugged limestone Alps here form a spectacular backdrop for "long-distance viewing" from the scenic guest terraces that invite you to stop at the Högl. For example, if you look from the Neubichler Alm on the right past Salzburg and on the left past the Untersberg, you can even spot dazzling glacier areas in the eastern Dachstein group on clear days. To the right past the Untersberg, you can study the landmark of Berchtesgaden: the Watzmann. Children will probably be more interested in the West African dwarf goats or the horses of the Neubichler Alm.
The geographical location of Ainring contributes significantly to its charm. Nestled between the Chiemgau Alps in the north and the Berchtesgaden Alps in the south, the region offers an impressive backdrop for unforgettable hikes. The rolling hills, green meadows and dense forests make every step a real pleasure.
Anyone who comes to Ainring will quickly discover that there is no such thing as boredom here. There are numerous tourist attractions such as Ainring Castle or the pilgrimage church of Maria Plain. Both places are not only culturally interesting, but also offer a magnificent view of the surrounding nature.
The best seasons for hiking in Ainring are spring and autumn. In spring, the landscape shines in bright colours and you can experience the awakening of nature at first hand.
