Guide #24948
Servus in Austria, exploring the nature, taking my guests on tours to places "seen through the eyes of the locals" - in a respectful way - that's my passion. I was born and raised in Salzburg and after high school and my education in tourism & travel business I moved to Lake Wolfgangsee into the heart of the Salzburg Lake District Area in 1990. Together with my family I live in the village of Strobl. I personal love beeing out in the nature, exploring and doing different activities in the seasons all year round (hiking, cycling, climbing, snowshoe-hiking, ski-mountaineering). The natural beauty with it's 76 Lakes and the surrounding mountains, the history and culture as well as the people made me feel like home. I live my profession as a Nature-Tour-Guide. This wonderful life in our natural world I would like to show to my guests within my tours. What can I offer to you for the seasons / Spring, Summer, Autumn / Christmas / Wintertime - Winter Wonderland & Authentic Christmas Markets - Snow Shoe Hikes & romantic Horse Sleighs Tours - Tours with Boat-Cruises & Steam Train - in combination with a smooth activity (easy hiking or cycling along the lake with E-bikes) - History & Culture - Cosy mountainhuts with typical Austrian cuisine Please take further informations from my tour descriptions! I am looking forward to meeting you - "Servus" in Austria! Yours sincerely, Rudi - Certificated Tour Guide since 1991 - Authorized Hiking & Cycling Guide - Rafting Guide & Hot Air Balloon Pilot (retired ;-) - Member of the chamber of commerce Salzburg I am not licensed to guide inside museums due to local regulations.

Our family had a great day with Rudi. He was a very friendly, passionate Austrian and happily shared his local area with us. He included a small walk in the snow to a local hutt for lunch, hot soup on a cold day was perfect.

Rudi is a terrific tour guide. We combined walking in Salzburg with a drive through the lakes ending with his dropping me off in Hallstatt where I was staying for couple of days. With many years experience, Rudi is not only knowledgeable about history and culture but also is a hiking and mountaineering guide, which matched my interests in having an outdoor experience. ...

We had a lovely day with Rudi, hiking about 10 KM over the course of the day, including a wonderful viewing point of the Lake, about 200 meters up. We learned about the area’s history and ended the day with a stop for ice cream, and a boat trip to other side of the Lake, where the car was parked. The scenery is absolutely stunning, could have stayed for a week! Rudi is...
