AN EXCURSION TO THE

JOCHALMEN

Text: Kathrina Denk

It is a warm Saturday, and after a leisurely

breakfast, we head to the Jochalmen.

We first ride into Bluntautal

on our new gravel bikes, then continue

on foot. This idyllic valley is pure bliss.

The Torrenerbach meanders through

the nature reserve like a snake, and

the sound of its rushing water accompanies

you constantly. The crystal-clear

Bluntau lakes usually require us to take

a detour, but today we have the Jochalmen

squarely in our sights. From the

Bärenwirt, we continue our journey on

foot.

PATH OF THE SEASONS ON EGELSEE

Located on idyllic Egelsee, the pleasant Golling Path of the Seasons

also features interesting information boards along the way.

Here, the whole family can explore a maze, balance on trees, or

learn about the surrounding mountain peaks with the help of a

newly installed panorama board. Enjoy the particularly beautiful

view from the romantic park chapel while your children explore

a natural pathway.

• Further information: www.golling.info

AQUA SALZA BATHING & WELLNESS PARADISE

Young and old alike find a place to swim, dive, have fun, and

relax. This modern wellness world offers relaxation, recreation,

and regeneration for body and mind with six different saunas

and two steam baths – massages, facial and Ayurvedic treatments,

and peels included. The finishing touches to your perfect

experience are provided by a dining area with a comfortable

rooftop terrace offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the impressive

mountains which surround you.

• Current opening hours & prices: aqua-salza.at

We cross the bridge over the Torrenerbach

heading west. After a short stretch

along a forestry lane, we turn onto the

steep forest path. After a while, we are

very relieved to encounter flatter terrain.

Having cut through a flower-covered

alpine meadow, we enter the forest

one last time, and just a few bends

later, we can already see our destination

for today: the Lower Jochalm. As

we enjoy a refreshing, well-deserved

Radler and a hearty Brettljause, we

gaze in awe at the gigantic, towering

rock massifs that were forged by primordial

forces.

For our hike back down, the wide forestry

lane is a welcome change of pace.

At the Bärenwirt again, we cool our feet

in the Torrenerbach before hopping on

our bikes and pedaling back. Whether

or not we make a detour to the Göllhof

will be a last-second decision. Though

the Blattlkrapfen would definitely make

it worthwhile!

To the Lower Jochalm

Distance: 11.45 km (from the Bärenwirt)

Ascent: 669 vertical meters

Duration: approx. 5 h

LONG-DISTANCE HIKING

THE SALZALPENSTEIG HIKING ROUTE RUNS FROM BAVARIA

THROUGH SALZBURG TO UPPER AUSTRIA.


11

Five holiday regions: Chiemsee-Alpenland, Chiemsee-Chiemgau,

Berchtesgadener Land, Tennengau/Dachstein-

West, and Dachstein Salzkammergut, have united their most

beautiful, centuries-old hiking areas by creating the SalzAlpen-

Steig:

• 230 km long-distance hiking trail

• 18 day-stages - 2 countries - 6 tourism regions

• Start/end point in Bavaria: Prien am Chiemsee

• Start/end point in Austria: Obertraun

• 39 entry points

• Hiking routes: moderate low-elevation mountain trails, lake

routes alongside Chiemsee, Königssee, and Hallstättersee

• Many historical sites along the way

• Elevations: 466 meters (in Kuchl) to 1,663 meters (Hochfelln)

• Best time of year to hike: May-October

Hikers who take on the SalzAlpenSteig not only get to explore

the wonderful nature of Chiemgau, Berchtesgaden, Tennengau,

and the Salzkammergut but also follow the trail of „white

gold.“ The hiking network consists of the SalzAlpenSteig itself

spanning 230 km, along with 25 hiking loops, and clearly

marked pathways. Numerous hikers have already experienced

and been thrilled by the new SalzAlpenSteig trail.

THE JOURNEY IS ITS OWN REWARD

The SalzAlpenSteig comprises a total of 18 daily stages. On

stage 11, hikers cross the Dürrnberg and make their way via

Kuchl to Golling. On the next stage, your hike continues to

Scheffau. Directly along the route, an array of highlights greet

industrious hikers. Attractions such as the Salzwelten salt

mines and Salzachöfen Gorge are definite must-sees! Use the

stamp pass to collect achievement stamps for each stage. Once

the passbook is full, there is a small surprise in store for you!

Stage 12

GOLLING - SCHEFFAU

This stage takes us through the beautiful riparian forests

along the Rivers Salzach and Lammer to the imposing

Salzachklamm and the Salzachöfen, as well as to the romantic

pilgrimage church of Maria Brunneck. Despite

the relatively short length of the route (only 13 kilometers),

this stage between the Hagen- and Tennengebirge

mountains, with its high peaks and deep gorges, is particularly

awe-inspiring.

The stage begins at the foot of impressive Golling Castle,

in the town center of Golling. Following the River

Salzach, we hike upstream through the wild and romantic

Salzachauen, able to admire the high peaks of the Tennengebirge

to the southwest, and the Hagengebirge and

Berchtesgaden Alps to the southeast and east of Golling.

We are treated to an impressive panoramic view of the

countless 2000-meter peaks in these mountain ranges,

such as the Hoher Göll (2522m), Schneibstein (2276m),

Tristkopf (2110m), and Tiroler Kogel (2322m).

A unique natural spectacle awaits us in the next section of

this stage, the Salzachklamm, a dramatic gorge between

the Tennen- and Hagengebirge ranges, where the Salzach

has carved as much as 80 meters deep into the Dachstein

limestone. The eroding effects of the eddying water have

created large erosion basins in the cliff walls of the gorge.

i

Salzachklamm Gorge

is considered a hidden

gem amongst Austria’s

gorges. Up to 80 meters

deep, this gorge is barely

a few meters wide at its

narrowest point.

The SalzAlpenSteig stamp pass.

Shortly afterwards, we reach the pilgrimage church of

Maria Brunneck, built in 1763, and Gasthaus Pass Lueg,

an inn which is also an official partner of the SalzAlpen-

Steig. Then we continue towards the Lammeregg (894m),

which we circumnavigate via forestry roads. This variety-rich

stage of the SalzAlpenSteig ends in Unterscheffau

at impressive St. Ulrich’s Church, or at the Tourist Information

Center in Scheffau.

the Flying Fox zipline at speeds of up to 60 km/h, catching

glimpses into the gorge that would otherwise remain hidden

from view.

KINGSWING

Leap! ...if you dare. High above the roaring waters of the

ART & CULTURE

AT GOLLING CASTLE

A DIVERSE ART & CULTURAL

PROGRAM THAT LEAVES NOTHING

TO BE DESIRED

Movement creates change. The first solo concerts by members

of the Vienna Philharmonic took place at Döllerer’s in 1998/99.

By 2000, the idea was born to organize a series of five concerts

at Golling Castle. These chamber music concerts, also involving

board members Clemens Hellsberg, Peter Pecha, and Martin

Kubik, drew 40 guests per performance. The harmonious

music accompanied by the atmospheric ambiance of the castle

courtyard and the delectable culinary highlights of Döllerer

cuisine inspired the fascination of concert guests even further.

They demanded more.

The „Small Festivals“ grew, became more diverse, and found

increasing popularity amongst festival audiences. Renowned

musicians and legends of the stage, both actors and singers, stir

the hearts of festival attendees with their performances year

after year. Today, up to 300 people attend a single performance,

and the number of events has increased to 20 during each

summer festival season. The culinary backdrop provided by

Döllerer‘s Genusswelten always delights a significant number

of festival guests, and those „Small Festivals“ have now melded

into the „Art & Culinary Festival.“

A DIVERSE OFFERING

Golling Castle offers numerous events, concerts, and activities

throughout the year in addition to those of the Golling Festival.

These include traditional evenings of folk music, the legendary

Star Cinema, and concerts such as a Rockin’ Evening with

Rusty. Its prime location in the heart of Salzburger Land makes

Golling Castle a unique cultural and event hub in Tennengau.

HOLIDAYS TOTALLY

TO YOUR TASTES

GOURMETS AND FOODIES ARE SURE TO RELISH THEIR

VACATION IN THE TENNENGAU REGION.

No matter where you go here, you will encounter one culinary

highlight after another. Hardly surprising, since Tennengau

was designated by GENUSSREGION ÖSTERREICH as a

distinctive culinary region for its fabulous Tennengauer Alm-

Käse cheeses and outstanding Tennengauer BergLamm lamb.

That said, AlmKäse and BergLamm both enjoy a special status

in the Tennengau region. Tennengau’s rich culinary traditions

are further enhanced by an array of fresh produce, most of

which is organically farmed.

CULINARY PARTNERS

The „Tennengauer AlmKäse & Berglamm“ culinary region

includes 40 partner businesses, all of whom stand for unsurpassed

quality. These Genussregion partners include hill dairies

and cheeseries, promotional partners, locals inns, as well as

Tennengauer BergLamm producers.

ENJOYMENT AT EVERY TURN

How about a foodie hike to one of the Tennengau cheese dairies?

In fact, a total of five different foodie tours lead up to these

mountain cheeseries, where your hosts serve cheese products

made from the milk of organic, hay-fed cattle. If you prefer to

explore the region by bike, you can join a selection of culinary

bike tours from one producer or inn to the next. 21 kilometers

of bike routes lead along the Cheese Tour from Kuchl

to Bad Vigaun, or on the Marble Tour from Adnet via Puch

and Oberalm. Those who wish to stay in the saddle longer

can explore, not only culinary, but also the cultural highlights

and sights of the region along the Salt Tour from Hallein to

Golling.

VIA CULINARIA

CULINARY PATHWAYS IN SALZBURGER LAND

The Via Culinaria takes aim at places that are renowned for

their epicurean pleasures. These culinary pathways lead past

hotspots for gourmets, sweet tooths, schnapps lovers, herb

enthusiasts, cheese fans, and avowed carnivores. For the last

two especially, Tennengau is also an ideal place for tastings.

Needless to say, Tennengauer AlmKäse and Tennengauer BergLamm

taste even better on location than anywhere else.

GASTRONOMY WITH

A LONG TRADITION

THE COLORFUL WORLD OF GOLLING GASTRONOMY

LEAVES (ALMOST) NOTHING TO BE DESIRED.

Text: Erich Urbanek

Postcard ca. 1930

The market town of Golling features one of the most beautiful

extended street squares in the province of Salzburg. Under the

protection of the medieval castle perched atop a rocky spur, a

double row of houses has evolved over the centuries along an

important north-south axis, shaping the town‘s appearance.

Travelers, artists, merchants, carriages, the military, and all

others who frequented this place sought a stopping point that

was one-day’s travel from Salzburg and where food and lodging

would be plentiful.

Until the advent of motorized vehicles, pedestrians, horseback

riders, and carriage drivers with their horses and wagons

needed to be safely accommodated and provided for. Thus it

was that numerous inns were established in the town, through

whose massive arched gates the carriages could trundle into a

courtyard.

Shortly after 1800, an early form of tourism began to unfold in

the town. Romantic souls wanted to experience the untouched


21

nature here, and traveling artists came to paint the quiet village,

the waterfall, and the Salzachöfen gorge. In European travel literature

of the 19th century, Golling already held a prominent

position, with numerous vedutas being printed.

In 1875, Golling became connected to the rail network of the

Empress Elisabeth Railway, which led in turn to a significant

boost in tourism. Golling became a “summer retreat” for guests

from Vienna with their families and servants for several weeks.

Hoteliers and innkeepers sought to improve the food and

drink they offered, and invested in a higher standard of guest

rooms. Cultural events provided for entertainment. An overall

development which is ongoing to this very day.

„In our establishment, we have been

offering quality accommodations and

excellent dining for over 50 years.“

Elisabeth and Manfred Moser, Gasthof Abfalter

The food scene in Golling is extraordinarily diverse. The range

extends from haute cuisine for true gourmets to traditional

home-style cooking, and international cuisine. Regional products,

increasingly of organic quality, are used. Beverages, meanwhile,

include a selection of refined meal accompaniments.

Coffeehouse culture in Golling looks back on a long tradition,

highlighted by exquisite confectionery and equally exquisite

ice cream. Making a stop in Golling is always worthwhile, especially

to enjoy its centuries-old tradition of hospitality.

ALPINE CUISINE

IN GOLLING

THE SALZBURG ALPS AND THEIR TRADITIONAL RECIPES

SERVE AS THE STARTING POINTS FOR TOP CHEF

ANDREAS DÖLLERER‘S ALPINE CUISINE.

Andreas Döllerer was practically born with a passion for good

food and enthusiasm for traditional Alpine dishes. Since 2004,

his „Alpine Cuisine“ has created a culinary bridge between

high-quality regional ingredients and traditional, often cleverly

reinterpreted dishes from the Salzburg Alps,. The virtuosic

and utterly unique cooking skills of this award-winning chef

delight guests and the professional press alike, as evidenced

by numerous national and international awards. The Döllerer

Restaurant has been at the culinary forefront of Austria for

many years. Andreas Döllerer‘s culinary line reflects tradition,

a connection to his homeland, and a distinctive modern interpretation,

as well as his genuine appreciation for regional

products.

Culinary enjoyment has always held special significance for the

Döllerer family. It goes far beyond sophisticated cuisine and

fine wines, defining epicurean experiences as a comprehensive,

all-encompassing philosophy that guides and accompanies the

family in their daily work and creativity – and with immense

success. What began in 1909 with an inn and butcher’s shop

in Golling near Salzburg has, with much love and the joy that

comes from heartfelt hospitality, grown into the diversified

family business we know today.

Andreas Döllerer‘s Inn-Style Cuisine

Andreas Döllerer brings authentic Salzburg home

cooking to your stove top and to the plate. Delicious,

down-to-earth recipes and stories connected

to his homeland await you.

His cookbook „Das Wirtshaus“ is available at

shop.doellerer.at or in bookstores.

DÖLLERER‘S

BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS

Recipe from „Das Wirtshaus“ by Andreas Döllerer

The tart freshness of wild-picked blueberries combined

with the caramel of milk and sugar, served with sour

cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients for 4 people:

400 g fresh blueberries

100 g coarse flour

50 ml milk

2 tablespoons butter

Granulated sugar

Powdered sugar

Sweetened sour cream

Located in the heart of Golling, Döllerer’s has always been a

place to meet and gather. At his inn, Andreas Döllerer highlights

the culinary diversity of this region combined with traditional

Austrian cooking.

INN OR RESTAURANT

No matter which you choose, whether Döllerer Wirtshaus,

Restaurant, or Delicatessen, they all reflect a true understanding

of „home“. The Döllerer Wirtshaus embraces tradition.

Here, you can dine à la carte or enjoy a 3 or 6-course menu. In

the restaurant, it is all about the Alpine region, its nature, and

the people who shape it. Andreas Döllerer‘s „Alpine Cuisine“

takes his guests on a journey. This innovative culinary line has

been awarded 5 toques and 19 points by Gault&Millau.

Preparation:

Stir the blueberries vigorously with the flour and milk,

crushing about half of the berries to release the juice.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and fry small dumplings

made from the blueberry mixture. After about 3

minutes, sprinkle with granulated sugar, add another

tablespoon of butter, and turn. Sprinkle again with granulated

sugar and fry for another 3 minutes. Dust with

powdered sugar.

Some tastes stay lodged in the brain like good music,

remaining there forever. Blueberry dumplings made

from small berries gathered in the forest combined with

flour, milk, and sugar were a summer treat at our grandparents‘

farm in Pinzgau. The tart sweetness of the berries,

the caramel from the milk and sugar. The berries

turned the teeth blue, but since it was just family, no

one cared. A small tip: freshly cut lemon helps avoid the

blueness. Serve with sweetened sour cream, vanilla ice

cream, or just a glass of cold milk.

THE BEST PLACE FOR WINE LOVERS

Döllerer‘s Enoteca at the gates of Golling, in Kuchl, is the perfect

mix of wine shop and wine bar. In the surrounding wine

library, you can choose from an extensive selection of wines,

sparkling wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages from

producers around the world, and in all price ranges. Get expert

advice, book guided tastings, and enjoy a tasty snack to

go with your wine! Delicious foodstuffs, beautiful accessories,

and great gift ideas add the finishing touches, inviting you to

browse and buy.

TIP: At numerous events, you can personally experience

Döllerer‘s world of wine and culinary delights throughout the

year.

OFFERS A VARIETY OF SPORTING OPPORTUNITIES, FOR

LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE.

We love winter! In Golling, all winter sports enthusiasts get

their money‘s worth – wintry enjoyment for the whole family!

Even if sport is not your „thing, „ you can still enjoy nature on

a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snowy Bluntautal

Valley, warming up afterwards with a hot tea at one of

Golling’s numerous eateries.

ALPINE SKIING

If you want to slice down the snowy mountainsides followed

by a spot of après-ski, you can take the free ski bus to the

Dachstein West ski region – only 25 km from Golling. Zoom

down the same hills where World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher

once trained. Dachstein West boasts 65 modern gondolas and

ski lifts, boarder parks and freeriding areas, kids clubs offering

fantastic childcare, affordable family passes, and much more.

The ski resorts of Ski Amadé are likewise only about a 30-minute

conditions, beautifully maintained pistes, and variety-packed

downhill runs are offered at all ski areas inside the Salzburger

Sportwelt.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

In addition to the classics, i.e., skiing and snowboarding, more

and more people are getting into cross-country skiing. In snowier

winters, you will also find an XC trail leading from Golling

into Bluntautal (free), whilst there are many other possibilities

in the surrounding area. Whether classic style or skating tech-


33

nique, this sport works wonders for your physical fitness and is

also an ideal way to clear your mind.

EXPERIENCE WINTER AWAY FROM THE PISTE

Away from the pistes and the joys of alpine skiing, another

world reveals itself to you – a gentle, quiet, and incredibly diverse

winter wonderland. Exploring this winter landscape –

whether on snowshoes, cross-country skiing, sledding, winter

hiking, or on a leisurely walk – gives us the opportunity to lose

ourselves in nature. Your winter options in and around Golling

are almost limitless. Toboggan runs invite sledders, big and

small, to enjoy a high-spirited ride down the hillside. Snowshoers,

meanwhile, trudge one step at a time through the virgin

winter countryside. Many cleared winter hiking paths in the

surrounding area invite you to explore with the whole family.

But also experienced ski tourers, ice skaters, snow bikers, fans

of romantic horse-drawn sleighs, and fit winter joggers find a

true winter wonderland with countless new possibilities just

waiting to be discovered.

A SMALL GEM

OF A SKI RESORT

The Werfenweng family ski area lies

only 30 minutes from Salzburg. Its

ready accessibility is a big plus since,

in the crowd, Werfenweng not only

boasts a ski area with reliable snow

conditions, but also opportunities for

ski touring, sledding, cross-country

skiing, and idyllic winter strolls.

On snowy days, nearby Bio-Berggasthof

SILENT NIGHT MUSEUM IN HALLEIN

The most famous Christmas carol in the world. Yet few people

know that the composer of this song, Franz Xaver Gruber,

once lived in Hallein, across from the parish church. Today, the

Silent Night Museum is located there, documenting the creation

and spread of this beloved song. In addition to the original

manuscript, Joseph Mohr‘s guitar, with which he first performed

the song on Christmas Eve in 1818, is also exhibited.

ADVENT IN SALZBURG

Christmas markets, Advent concerts, and traditional events enchant

visitors to the city of Mozart. When Advent gets underway

in Salzburg at the end of November, a particularly beautiful

time of year begins. The festively decorated city shines even

brighter than usual, and the scents of hot chestnuts, spiced

mulled wine, and delicious cookies waft through the lanes of

the Old Town. A visit to the Salzburg Christkindlmarkt, located

on Cathedral and Residence Squares, is a must. This historic

Christmas market is one of the most beautiful anywhere. Especially

popular with families: Hellbrunn Advent Magic. A more

serene Advent market on Mirabell Square, near Mirabell Gardens,

is also well worth a visit, as is the aptly named Fortress

Advent up at Hohensalzburg Fortress.

CHRISTMAS IDYLL IN

FILZMOOS

When the days are shortest and dark

winter nights invite storytelling, the Filzmoos

Christmas Idyll at the Hofalmen

promises a contemplative Advent experience:

a mystical staging of a breathtakingly

beautiful winter landscape.

Filzmoos is a 40-minute drive from

Golling. A short walk via the cleared

winter hiking path will then lead you to

the Christmas Idyll, or strap on a pair of

snowshoes or ride the taxi bus (order

your taxi transfer in advance, phone +43

(0)664 1806453), or, more festive still,

take a horse-drawn sleigh.

INSIDER TIP ON WOLFGANGSEE

Drive over the beautiful Postalmstrasse (toll 10 euros)

to the Postalm – a wonderful expanse of alpine pastures

with a stunning panorama – to Strobl.

From Strobl, continue by car or ferry to St. Wolfgang.

There, ride the traditional cog railway up the 1,783-meters-high

Schafberg. The steepest steam cog railway in

Austria has been running from St. Wolfgang to the top

of the Schafberg since 1893. The Schafberg is rightfully

considered the most beautiful viewpoint in the Salzkammergut.

In clear weather, you are treated to a 360°

panoramic view across the glistening lakes of the Salzkammergut

and the Alpine foothills. Back in St. Wolfgang,

be sure to visit the church with the winged altar,

then enjoy a good coffee at the famous „Weisses Rössl“.

For a refreshing dip, go to the Wasswiese natural swimming

beach, Wassbad, 5350 Strobl.

And when it’s time for lunch or dinner: Try the „Fischergartl“

– reservations required, table numbers 4, 5,

6 or the regulars‘ table are the best! Or „Restaurant am

See,“ table numbers 64 & 65, but all the other tables are

great too!

Would you like to rent an electric boat and experience

the lake from out on the water or try a spot of waterskiing?

In that case, rentals are available right in the center

of St. Gilgen!

Your journey home after an eventful day will take you

from St. Wolfgang via Fuschl and Wiestal, which is a

very scenic drive.

INSIDER TIPS FOR RAINY DAYS

Of course, it does also rain in SalzburgerLand from time to time. But

with an array of thermal spas, museums, and many other indoor activities,

there‘s always plenty to do even on days that are a little damp.

• A visit to the Haus der Natur in Salzburg – a great experience for

young and old!

• Eisriesenwelt: Unique, enormous, and rightly one of Salzburg‘s

most popular attractions for decades.

• Salzwelten Hallein: Here, everything revolves around salt and its

significance as the „essence of life.“

• Hangar 7: A unique building, housing a fleet of historic aircraft

flown by the Flying Bulls as well as Formula 1 race cars. Followed

by a visit to the Outdoor Lounge or Restaurant Ikarus.

A unique sightseeing tour with a special motto: Culinary, Mozart,

Italianità, the Trapp family...

„You say that you love the rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains...

You say that you love the sun, but you find a shady spot when the sun shines...

You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind

blows...

This is why I am afraid; You also say that you love me!“

Bob Marley
