The Salzkammergut, whose name translates directly as “Salt chamber estate”, is a part of Austria that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its beautiful scenery and outstanding architecture. Of particular note for a visitor are the towns of Bad Goisern, Gosau and Obertraun among others, while the city of Salzburg lies on its western edge and is worth the visit all by itself. The area’s name comes from the salt mines that lay under the area and provided the region with not only its unique look and charm but brought workers to the towns where they built the remarkable homes and business premises that stand out in the area today. The Austrian Salzkammergut is one of the country’s finest areas, somewhere you should experience at least once. Check it out by booking one of these Airbnb vacation rentals.
