Pinzga Hatscha

For true adventurers, everything has been created in the Salzburg Saalachtal. Thus, the Pinzga Hatscha was created; a beautiful long-distance hike of about 390 km through the Pinzgau Mountains. The route is divided into 15 stages. This means that not only experienced hikers can tackle the route, but also beginners or families. And if the tour becomes too strenuous, you can always take the (hiking) bus.
