BISCHOFSHOFEN

Bischofshofen is popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Situated in picturesque countryside not far from the Mozart city of Salzburg, Bischofshofen offers everything the heart desires. Well-known attractions and excursion destinations such as Hohenwerfen Castle, the Eisriesenwelt (Ice Caves), Hellbrunn Palace or the almost 3,000-metre-high Hochkönig are in the immediate vicinity. The Celtic town of Hallein and the picturesque Bluntau Valley are less than 30 minutes away. Mining was carried out around Bischofshofen more than 500 years ago. The Geo Park presents the exciting history of ore mining, its development and significance for the region in a particularly interesting way. The visitor centre in Bischofshofen is the best starting point for your excursions – with important information in your luggage, the adventure hikes around the beautiful village in Salzburger Land can then begin.
