View of Bad Gastein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bad Gastein is a beautiful place from afar, but up close your heart bleeds. The town center has been decaying for decades. A slow reconstruction is underway, but will probably take time.

In the tunnel you come across a statue, after the gorge towards Sportgastein, a beautiful picnic area with a view of the valley. With a panorama towards the glacier. In clear weather you can see a chairlift.

May 23, 2023,Wanderung nach Bad Gastein und am Höhenweg zurück 🥾

The waterfall path to Bad Gastein was planned today, but unfortunately it is closed due to a rock fall. Deviation via the meadow path possible. Then it began to rain in Gastein. nevertheless carried out the planned tour. There's no such thing as bad weather. 🤣🤣

Today we hiked on the Gastein High Trail from Hofgastein to Bad Gastein. We crossed the Gadaunerer Gorge via the Katharina Tunnel. The trail always leads along the edge of the forest. Sometimes on gravel paths, sometimes on side roads. Numerous benches along the trail offer beautiful views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. There are also a few …

November 11, 2023,Sbg, Bad Hofgastein Gadaunerer Schlucht-Gasteiner Höhenweg

Today we walked in moderate but dry weather over the Gasteiner Höhenweg to the Gadauner Gorge and on to Bad Gastein. From there we actually wanted to take the waterfall path back towards Hofgastein. However, like many paths in Gastein, the path was blocked by a construction site fence - so it couldn't be overcome. When we arrived in Hofgastein, …

May 23, 2025,Gadaunerer Schlucht – Gasteiner Höhenweg Runde von Bad Hofgasstein🤠

First exploratory tour🥾. Very varied up to Bad Gasstein. After that, unfortunately, it's only straight and flat along the Ache River. 🤷 The tour is definitely suitable for strollers, though 👍

February 12, 2025,Keiser Wilhelm Promenade, Gasteiner Höhenweg, Gasteiner Ache

A wonderful trip. From Bad Gastein easy, because it's always downhill. The views are breathtaking. From Bad Hohstein a nice flat trail along the river. The approach to Bad Gastein through the streets of the town, steep at times.
