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.

Overview of your Salzburg tour

The Salzkammergut area is well known for its history (more than 7000 years of salt mining. . . ), as well as it has been the residence of our Emperor Kaiser Franz Joseph. Composers, actors, and noble people from all over the world came for their summer holidays. The region became famous and still kept its flair. The amazing landscape with 76 lakes and the high mountains formed tourism in combination with beautiful sights and all kinds of activities possible in nature, especially in the winter period. Enjoy a boat cruise (optional) from St. Gilgen to St. Wolfgang while taking in the beautiful Austrian landscape. Optional: A romantic ride with the horse sleigh on request. An optional ride with the historical steam train (125 years old) or the romantic ride in a typical horse sleigh is available on request. A full day of typical Austrian story! Looking forward to taking you, where the locals meet!
