Untertauern: Obertauern - Hundskogel
Few places in Salzburg have a history as closely tied to crossings of the Radstädter Tauern as Untertauern. The municipality reaches into a mountain corridor between the Enns valley and Obertauern, the pass settlement on the Tauern route. Obertauern is one of Austria’s established ski centres, with lifts and pistes spread across rounded alpine slopes rather than arranged around a conventional village centre. The high ground belongs to the Radstädter Tauern, part of the wider Niedere Tauern range. Travellers have crossed this terrain for centuries, and the modern Tauern road continues its role as a route through the mountains.

The Taurach shapes the setting of Untertauern — descending from the Radstädter Tauern, it follows a confined Alpine valley where homes, roads and meadows occupy the limited level ground. This Pongau municipality lies south of Radstadt, below the high-altitude terrain around Obertauern. Wooded slopes rise sharply above the valley, while the surrounding Radstädter Tauern belong to the Eastern Alps. The parish church of St Leonard is a local landmark, and the route across the Radstädter Tauern has long connected the Salzach and Enns valleys. Winter links the area closely with Obertauern’s ski country; in warmer seasons, the valley suits walking and cycling.

Salzburg is renowned in Austria for its UNESCO-listed Baroque capital and the musical legacy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Beyond the city, the Salzach runs south through broad valleys and market towns before the land rises into the Northern Limestone Alps and the Hohe Tauern. The province includes much of Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria’s largest national park, where high alpine terrain meets traditional pasture farming. Salt shaped Salzburg’s prosperity for centuries, while Hohensalzburg Fortress remains a defining landmark above the historic centre. Winter sports and summer hiking bring out the contrast between river valleys and mountain country. Explore other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Salzburg.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
