Faistenau

Faistenau straddles a high plateau beneath the Osterhorn Group in Salzburg’s Salzkammergut, and its elevated setting has shaped a community of alpine farms and mountain routes. Lake Hintersee lies within the municipality, below the rugged slopes of the Osterhorn range, while woodland and open meadows define the surrounding terrain. The Parish Church of St James the Greater stands at the centre of the village and preserves late-Gothic elements, a reminder of Faistenau’s long-established settlement history. Winter brings cross-country skiing to the plateau, while milder months suit walking and cycling. Continue through nearby webcams to explore Faistenau and the Salzburg Salzkammergut.
