Assumed, that the **landscape is as beautiful** as the one in the **Dachstein Salzkammergut**. A **winter hike** on cleared paths, along icy streams or through enchantingly snow-covered woods will bring every hiker to his or her senses, **far away from the hustle and bustle** of everyday life. And the hot tea in the warming hut or in a rustic hut becomes a wonderful reward, which you can easily treat yourself to.
