Summer in Russbach, Salzburger Land
Where time slows down a little.
When the sun rises over the Dachstein peaks, the air filled with the scent of meadows and the morning still at rest –
that’s when you know: summer begins here just as it should. Genuine, calm and made for breathing deeply.
Around Reiters Ferienhaus stretches a near-endless network of walking and hiking trails.
Gentle alpine meadows, panoramic summits or high-alpine climbing routes –
everyone finds their own pace here.
And if you prefer a comfortable start, the Hornbahn Russbach lift will take you to new heights – and a clearer mind.
Up there awaits Bruno’s Mountain World – a little paradise for both young and old:
play stations, nature trails and a relaxed ride on the alpine slow train
turn a day in the mountains into an adventure with a view.
Hiking with a View – and Perspective
The Dachstein West region is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts.
Countless paths lead through alpine pastures, along crystal-clear streams,
across wide meadows and up to peaks with views stretching deep into the Salzkammergut.
One of the most beautiful routes:
a circular hike around Lake Gosau – turquoise, still,
and framed by the mighty Dachstein massif.
Those who set out early will see the first sunlight reflected on the water –
a moment that lingers.
And if you prefer culture to altitude, you’re in luck:
the world-famous village of Hallstatt is only about 20 minutes away,
and the city of Mozart – Salzburg – around 50 minutes.
Perfect for days when the weather calls for stories, not summits.
For Children: Adventures Right Outside the Door
For little explorers, the adventure begins in the garden.
Our petting zoo – with sheep, goats, cats, rabbits and hens –
turns every day into a small farmyard adventure.
There’s also a private playground for climbing, swinging or simply laughing together.
That’s how a holiday at Reiter’s Holiday Home becomes a time that does everyone good –
young or old, active or relaxed.
A Place with History
Russbach is famous for its fossilised snail stones –
traces of a time when a tropical sea once washed over this land.
Today, the valley is rich in something else entirely:
untouched nature, fresh mountain air and genuine hospitality.
At Reiter’s Holiday Home in Russbach, summer finds the tone
that so often feels missing elsewhere –
quiet, heartfelt and close to nature.
Whether hiking, swimming, exploring or simply being –
this is where you don’t just collect moments,
but stories that stay.
