A holiday by the lake near Salzburg

It is the main ingredient for a classic summer holiday: Water! The sound of tiny waves gently kissing the shore, swimming, paddling, sunbathing, boating and simply enjoying the fresh air - a holiday by the lake is like a dream come true! 

That's why it is important to choose a lake-side hotel in the wonderful Salzkammergut Lake District that is as close to the water as possible. Can we let you in on a secret? 

The lake-side hotel Ebner’s Waldhof is located right on the shores of picturesque Lake Fuschl and is therefore the hotel you are looking for. The hotel's own private beach offers guests plenty of exclusive room to enjoy the pleasures of the lake. Sun umbrellas and loungers are reserved exclusively for our guests for ultimate lake-side comfort. Enjoy the tranquillity, sun and the sound of the waves lapping the shoreline.  

Especially in the summer, your day revolves around the lake from the moment you wake up to when you go to bed: Early birds usually have the beach, the jetty and sometimes the entire lake to themselves. An invigorating dip just before the sun goes up is well worth leaving your warm bed for. 

Having enjoyed your swim you can wrap yourself in your bathrobe and watch the sun go up from the deserted jetty.  

The afternoon often lends itself to a jaunt with one of the hotel's rowing boats, at no extra charge of course. 

And in the evening the ritual of watching the sun go down with a drink from the hotel terrace is the perfect way to end a fulfilled day in your wellness holiday in summer, don't you think? 

Boats for your use at the Ebner's Waldhof private beach 

There are a number of ways to explore Lake Fuschl: By boat for example. At the hotel's own private beach there are rowing boats and kayaks for you to use free of charge. You will discover secret coves, secluded beaches and see the surrounding countryside from a completely new perspective.
