Abtenau: Strobl, Postalm - Postalm Zauberteppich, Parkplatz/Skiverleih
Postalm has served as an alpine grazing area in Salzburg since the Middle Ages. Spread across the mountains above Abtenau, this broad pastureland lies between the Tennengebirge and the Salzkammergut, with open meadows interrupted by spruce forest and scattered farmsteads. Cattle grazing and haymaking have long shaped the area, while traditional alpine huts retain the working character of the plateau. Postalm is also a winter-sports area, with lifts and runs sharing the terrain with walking routes used outside the ski season. Rather than a built-up resort, it is a dispersed mountain settlement where farming, forestry and outdoor recreation remain closely connected.

Abtenau is best known within Salzburg for Karkogel, its local mountain and a focal point for skiing and summer walking. The market town lies in the Lammertal, where the Lammer flows through an Alpine valley south-east of Salzburg. Forested slopes rise towards the Tennengebirge and the Dachstein massif, placing the settlement between two major mountain landscapes. At its centre, the parish church of St Blaise anchors the townscape, while local life follows the rhythm of alpine farming, hiking and winter sport.

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.
