Welcome to the Salzkammergut Your holiday in Bad Ischl
Bad Ischl lies where the Traun and the Ischl meet, surrounded by the mountains of the Salzkammergut. For generations the emperor and empress came here, and his villa, the spa promenade and the old lanes still shape the town today. From the town square it is just a few minutes to the Katrin cable car, which takes you up to the alpine pastures. All around lie lakes, forests and alpine meadows, along with the Traun that runs right through the town. Short paths lead you straight from the cafés on the square out into nature. And anyone who wants to go further has the Wolfgangsee, Hallstatt and the peaks of the region within easy reach. No wonder Empress Elisabeth loved this place so much.
