The best (half) day trips in and around Salzburg

December 12, 2017
best half day trips from Salzburg

This article has been updated in May 2019 One of my recent articles was a detailed guide about Salzburg, but in my opinion, a trip to Salzburg would be incomplete if you’re missing out the spectacular surroundings of the city. Salzburg is lucky to have some of the most idyllic landscapes of the planet right at its doorstep! Even if you only have half a day off, it’s easy to venture out and catch a fresh breeze in the mountains,…

The perfect alpine getaway in Leogang

October 2, 2015

Beginning of September we had our annual strategic meeting of our company. Luckily that has nothing to do with any boring, ordinary meeting as it usually lasts a few days and takes place at a cool location. My bosses aren’t afraid of any costs, which means we get to stay in nice hotels, having lots of great food and drinks as well as an exciting leisure program. This time we went to Leogang, a popular holiday destination in the alps in the province of Salzburg.…
