Badgastein Travel Guide

 Roeffie Says:  Burg Klammstein is or better said was a ruïn, untill the curren owner decided to restore it with his own money. It is an enthousiastic person telling you hundreds of stories. It's not a particular beautiful sight, but the enthousiasm of the castle lord is more than charming.... 

 Manara Says:  Dining in the open air is very nice in summer, but it becomes wonderful when the view is beautiful as the one you get here.This café-restaurant (and bar!) is just out of the town, with a panoramic view of the Gastein valley. Is is located on the charming... 

 Manara Says:  I confess I have only seen this place from outside, but I have never been in it. It is advertised as Bar-Disco-Club. It opens at 9 pm every night of the week, and according to the adverts there are a "Fashionbar" and an "Almbar" with billiard, darts and table-football.

 Theomis Says:  During our stay in Badgastein we rented bikes (at our hotel, but there is also a sports store near the train station where you can rent bikes) and went on a bike ride to Böckstein, south of Badgastein. It's a short but beautiful trip. Unlike the streets of Badgastein, there... 

 Manara Says:  The walk into the Kötschachtal is rather long but easy, in a beautiful, scenic landscape. The footpath from Grüner Baum to Prossau follows the course of the Kötschachbach through meadows and woods. Part of it is inside the area of the Hohe Tauern Natural Park. The... 

 Roeffie Says:   I can't speak of a fondest memory, more memorable memory. At the time we were in Austria there was very bad weather in the first days of our holiday. Several roads were difficult to drive on. River Salzach was almost flooding and in Mittersill the town really flooded. On...
