Superb summer days on the shores of Lake Fuschl
Summer
The summer heralds the arrival of long days of sunshine and swimming fun to the Lake Fuschl Region. Enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the lake as you swim, snorkel, fish, paddle or row. The possibilities at Ebner's Waldhof by the lake are endless: Take out a pedalo, glide silently across the water in a kayak or alternatively, simply take a seat on the hotel's own passenger boat the "Fuschlerin" - a flat-bottomed boat known as a "Zille" that is traditional for the region. The Fuschlerin departs several times a day from the lake-side promenade and will take you the entire length of the Lake to the Castle Fuschl Fishery (and back). The only thing you'll hear is the smooth lapping of the waves against the wooden hull. What other sounds of the Salzkammergut summer can you expect? The familiar clacking of clubs hitting balls on the Waldhof Golf Course, the crunching of a mountain trail under hiking boots or the dulcet tones of classical music at the world famous Salzburg Festival where the world's most renowned artists annually grace the city's stages.
