The "Ewige Wand" (eternal wall) can be reached in various ways and offers something for everyone. Starting with the mountain and fairytale trail, which leads the whole family from the Rathlücken hut to the "Ewige Wand" in approx. 30 minutes.  Further hikes to the "Blaschekwarte" or to the Predigstuhl also lead past the Eternal Wall.

With the bike it goes on the Salzkammergut Trophy training track G by the "Ewige Wand" (eternal wall).

The eternal wall is also interesting for climbers. Unique via ferrata are the Radsteig and the "Ewige Wand" via ferrata. We recommend both only for advanced climbers.

Can I cycle all around Lake Hallstatt?

Yes you can cycle all around (east bank bike trail). But you have to keep in mind that you have to cycle back from Hallstatt to Bad Goisern on a heavily frequented main road. We recommend that you take the round via Obertraun to Hallstatt and then take the boat from Hallstatt to Hallstatt station and go back again by bike or train to Bad Goisern. Especially for families we recommend to avoid the main road completely, because it is too dangerous for the children!
