Once again, I have no idea what to write. The weather gods were too kind with the temperature, so I walked up a steep path through the shady forest to the Tennenblick Inn. There, I was rewarded with a delicious goulash. I also visited the beautiful ski museum in Werfenweng and was given a private tour by the museum director because I donated about 15 rare ski lesson plans from 1892 to 1925. Hans decided on the type of tour; depending on your preferences, you're sure to find something to look at. Go in, it's worth it; describing the individual areas by season would go beyond the scope of this article. I ate a fantastic trout at Pizzeria Chilly.

06/25: The resort is now called AJA, and I still recommend it. They have great pillows and a good, extensive breakfast.

The Dr. Heinrich-Hackel-Hütte is located on the sun-drenched south side of the Tennengebirge and offers a panoramic view from its terrace over the Salzburg region to the Hohe Tauern, including the Grossglockner. With a 1.5-hour climb from the Wengerau, the hut is an insider tip for families who can hike and relax in a quiet alpine landscape far away from mass tourism.

One of the most beautiful mountains with a view in the Salzburg region. Accessible via beautiful forest paths and ski slopes. A shorter version via a path is also possible. Paragliders often use it for "hike & fly". There are very good take-off points on the mountain and the large landing area is not far from the lift in Zaglau. Cable car riders only have a few meters to the summit or the restaurant. There is also some play equipment for children in the summit area.
