SUMMER DAYS IN THE NATIONAL PARK
CONSCIOUSLY DISCOVER
An active summer holiday in Upper Austria is not only great for summiteers and avid pedallers. Our region has plenty of possibilities for big or small adventurers and adrenaline junkies. What will you experience?
Summer AktivCard
MANY EXPERIENCES, CONSCIOUSLY FREE OF CHARGE
When is a holiday at the Dilly particularly worthwhile? From May to October. That’s because with just one overnight stay, you can get your hands on the free Pyhrn-Priel AktivCard. This will give you more than 40 free experiences as well as plenty of discounted ones.
HORSEBACK RIDING
SWING INTO THE SADDLE
There are 300 kilometres of riding trails in and around the national park and pure nature: unspoilt mountain valleys, fairytale forests, lonely pastures and rushing streams. Whether pony or western riding, carriage rides or lunge lessons – we have the right offer for every taste and every riding ability.
SUMMER TOBOGGANING
ADDS ACTION TO YOUR HOLIDAY
Get in, pull the lever forward and hurtle down 233 metres of altitude. The summer tobogganing run at Wurbauerkogel is just a few minutes away. It’s one of the longest in Europe and promises superlative riding fun. And with the Alpine Coaster, there’s even a second speed highlight there.
BATHING LAKES
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A JEWEL OF NATURE
Right on our doorstep, you can bathe in one of the warmest mountain lakes in Austria. The crystal clear Gleinkersee reaches temperatures of up to 25 °C. Explore all the untouched corners with a pedalo, rowing boat or stand-up paddle board. Another bathing highlight: the natural bathing lake Edlbach, just a few minutes away from the Dilly on foot.
HIGH ROPES COURSE
SCALING GREAT HEIGHTS
Right next to the Gleinkersee, you will find a high ropes course. With countless rope slides, balance beams, suspension bridges and wire ropes, you can move from tree to tree at lofty heights. Whereas at Level 1 adventurers balance just three to four metres above ground, at Level 5 it’s 15 metres.
ARCHERY
WHO’S GOT THE HANG OF IT?
The 3-D archery parcourse in Windischgarsten presents a good opportunity to express your inner hunting instinct. Anyone who’s got the hang of it after the induction can get started with their quiver and arrows. On two different courses, you can hunt deceptively real-looking foxes, chamois, deer or bears.
CANYONING
GRIPPED BY A THIRST FOR ADVENTURE
When canyoning in the national park, you’ll venture into breath-taking gorges with a wetsuit, seat harness, helmet and rope. An adventure that will test your courage: waterfall slides, jumping from metre-high rocks, abseiling and swimming through currents. In between, take a deep breath in the natural whirlpools.
BUNGEE JUMPING
THE ULTIMATE KICK
Are you a fan of adrenaline and thrills? How about a free-fall jump from the dam wall in Klaus from a height of 50 metres? Particularly daring types will ask for the bungee jump with “dive in”. The rope length is then calculated according to your weight, so that you are immersed in the water up to your hips as a maximum when you jump.
