A trip to Salzburg brings momentum to your holiday in Altenmarkt. Rewarding destinations are the Alpine zoo and the castle in Hellbrunn.

Zoo experience in Salzburg

For the youngest zoo visitor, the petting zoo is always a firm favourite. See the different types of animals like snow leopards, white rhinoceroses, moose’s, polar bears, lions as well as giant turtles and leopards on a trip to the Hellbrunn zoo.

Castle Hellbrunn

Only a stone’s throw away from the Hellbrunn zoo is the early baroque Hellbrunn summer residence with its world famous water fountains. The far reaching park with an adventure play area and large field is the perfect setting for a picnic. After a delicious lunch you can visit the water fountains.

Water fountains at Hellbrunn

The water fountains fascinate many visitors of every age, every year and that since nearly 400 years! When visiting the Hellbrunner water fountains you could get wet! But that is absolutely no reason not to visit the water fountains − actually exactly the opposite. Decide before visiting this unique attraction, as to where the water could come from and try to have a bit of control − but don’t be surprised: Many visitors have been deceived and become a victim of the water jets.

Whoever manages to stay dry at the Hellbrunn castle can decide on what the evening programme should be.

How does a ball sport sound directly at the Youth Hotel Ennstalerhof? Or would you prefer a hip party at the in-house disco with a DJ? Or you would prefer something more relaxing and save your strength for the cave tour in Wagrain tomorrow? Then maybe a film in the Dolby-surround cinema or a round of Sing-Star in the comfortable Chill-Out lounge is exactly right.
