Palace-village Maishofen is the ideal starting point for the most beautiful walking tours in the region and offers furthermore numerous highlights to discover. The highest mountain in Austria, the Großglockner with its 3.798 m is for sure a visit worth it, as well as Europe´s highest waterfalls in Krimml. Do not miss all these amazing opportunities!
You walk on well-maintained walking paths and lovely trails with views onto the impressive mountain world of this region, and in parts on side roads and forest tracks.
