Mit seiner über 500 Jahre alten Geschichte ist das österreichische Bundesland „Salzburg“ das Älteste. Die fünf Gaue (Flachgau, Tennengau, Pinzgau, Pongau und Lungau) haben alle ihren eigenen Reiz, ihre Spezialitäten und bieten Dir wunderschöne Landschaften. Auch wenn die Bergwelt im Salzburger Land sicherlich die Landschaft dominiert, so gibt es noch viel mehr zu entdecken.

No matter what you want to see in Salzburger Land, you shouldn't forget the beautiful lakes. These are very diverse, crystal clear and have excellent water quality. But their shores are also a paradise for hikers and runners.

Wie wäre es, diese zu Fuß zu umrunden und dabei die Natur zu genießen und sich ein kühles Getränk und eine Jause zu gönnen? Mach mit bei der Iron Lake Challenge Salzburg, umrunde die zehn größten Seen Salzburgs und verdien Dir die begehrte Sammlermedaille in der Edition „Salzburg“.

RULES

The rules for the Iron Lake Challenge "Salzburg" are very simple. Nevertheless, we would like to clarify them once again at this point:

• Sign up for the Iron Lake Challenge Salzburg!
• To conquer the Iron Lake Challenge Salzburg and earn the beautiful collector's medal, you have to walk around the ten largest lakes in Salzburger Land (see below) after registering.
• Bicycles, skates, etc. are not allowed, but you are welcome to hike or run.
• Each lake must be circumnavigated "in one piece". This means that you are welcome to take breaks, but you should complete the lake within one day. Of course, you can divide the 10 lakes into different days. Do only one lake per day, because you want to enjoy this time!
• We trust you that you have really circumnavigated the lakes. However, if you want to be included in the honor roll, we need a copy of your tracking. We don't care what you use (watch, smartphone or app).

General PLEASE NOTE!

• Please note that the road traffic regulations apply in public traffic areas and along roads and cycle paths. So move with consideration.
• You circumnavigate the lakes at your own risk and at your own risk. The operator of this website assumes no liability.
• Please heed medical advice if necessary or have a medical examination before the start of the Challenge. You are responsible for your own health, equipment and condition. Breaking off a tour is not a disgrace, health always comes first!

A few rules for dealing with nature during your lake tour:

• Please take into account the local instructions for the protection of nature.
• Please do not go off the trails.
• Please do not make noise.
• Please do not collect rocks or minerals.
• Please do not collect mushrooms.
• Please do not leave trash lying around.
• Please do not feed animals.
• Please do not make an open fire.
• Please do not pick plants.

This should be obvious to all of us, but it doesn't hurt to remember it from time to time.

The ten largest lakes in Salzburg

You will notice that the Wolfgangsee, the largest lake in the province of Salzburg, is missing. This is because it is partly located in Upper Austria. A few reservoirs are also missing, as these are high mountain reservoirs that cannot be circumnavigated due to adjacent rock faces. But we think that the selection of lakes in the Iron Lake Challenge Salzburg is wonderful.

Wallersee

Lake Wallersee is located north-east of the city of Salzburg in the district of Salzburg-Umgebung and is part of the Salzburg lake district. It is popular with water sports enthusiasts, with windsurfers in particular appreciating the good winds there. But hikers, runners and recreational athletes of all kinds also appreciate the Wallersee. The circular trail is around 17 kilometers long, making it perfect for a nice walk or a long run.
