Hikes, with the Brückenwirt as a starting point
ONE OF THE LONGEST CANOR IN THE ALPS
Let yourself be fascinated by the legendary gorge in St. Johann im Pongau. The approximately 4,000-meter-long gorge attracts visitors from all over the world every year. The Liechtensteinklamm is in some places up to 300 meters deep and partly only a few meters wide. The gorge is viewed over wooden bridges and at the end is a romantic waterfall.
To such a mystical place many stories and legends were told. Thus the legend of the St. Johanner Liechsteinklamm tells us that a long time ago a farmer had negotiated ineptly with the devil. The peasant from St. Johann wanted to bring the devil to bring the Gasteiner healing springs to St. Johann. As payment, the farmer would give his wife the devil. This had to happen until the next morning. Stunned by the farmer's wife, she dived the cock into the spring water before the next day. Full of anger, the devil realized that he had lost the weather, he broke the springs into the depths of the rocks - so no one could get the water.
The Lichtenstein is open every day from the beginning of May to the end of September.
at "Hochgrüneck" hike on 1.808 meters
The hike to the Hochgründeck mountain starts in St. Johann from the Hahnbaumalm or the Vogei Hut. You can see this hiking route as an addition to the Vogei hut hike or you can drive with the car (about 30 minutes from the hotel Brückenwirt) to the starting point Hahnbaumalm. The difficulty of the route is to settle in the middle area and takes from the starting point about 3 hours.
The first ascent takes place in the forest and the second ascent follows a saddle. The tour is about 6 km long and the goal is the Heinrich Kienerhaus or the Peace Church to St. Vincent.
Tip: Reward yourself with a Kaiserschmarren and enjoy sunrise. From the viewpoint at the Heinrich Kienerhaus you can look over 4 places and has a view of over 300 peaks.
Culinary at the highest level in Goldegg Weng
The absolute secret tip is the Meislsteinalm at 1,300 meters in Goldegg Weng.
From St. Johann to the starting point Böndlsee - a mountain lake - is only 20 minutes by car. Here you can park and start the hike. The route to Meislsteinalm is a simple 40 minute walk. It is an ideal challenge for mountain bikers as well as for casual hikers. Past grazing cows and calves, walk along a sunny ridge. Arrived at the cottage you are warmly welcomed by the host Alex. Do not miss the Brettljause and order a "Meiselspoaß" cocktail for the sunset.
An hike to a mountain lake on 1.810 meters
The starting point is the parking lot at the Jägersee in Kleinarl. These are about 28 minutes from the hike hotel Brückenwirt. The hike around Lake Tappenkar takes 6 hours and is about 17 km long.
The Tappekarsee hike is a gem in the Salzburg mountains. The path leads through a forest and then rises in moderately steep serpentines. The hiking trail is in a landscape conservation area and the lake is considered as the highest-lying Gebiergsee of the Eastern Alps.
