About
Nestled just outside Salzburg, Nockstein is a highly-rated attraction (4.9 on Google) renowned for its stunning peak and family-friendly paths. Easily accessible by bus (Line 150 from the main station), visitors start their journey on a paved path that winds through meadows towards the edge of the forest. From there, clear signs guide the way.
Though the climb gets more challenging in the last 50-100 meters, it's worth it. For less experienced hikers or those with a fear of heights, skipping the rocky stretch is advised. The panoramic views at the top, especially at sunset during summer, are simply breathtaking. With some steep sections along the way, make sure to wear proper footwear. Nockstein seamlessly combines the beauty of nature with an adventurous touch, making it a must-visit in Salzburg.

Ca. Eine Stunde vom Parkplatz hinter Koppl nach oben gebraucht. Wunderschöne Aussicht und gute Zeit mit meinen Toechtern verbracht Gehen, reden, Seele baumeln lassen.🙏🏻 empfehlung 🫶

Közepesen nehéz, kb. két órás gyalogtúra. Gyerek kocsival nem bejárható. Szép környezet, a végén csodás panoráma!
