The Tennfall waterfall lies at the entrance to the Lantschfeld Valley and can be reached via the Tweng Circular Trail. This gives Tweng a specific natural attraction to include in your hiking plans. The range of activities also extends from hiking trails and mountain tours to cultural landmarks and winter activities. Tweng is in the Lungau region of Salzburg, on the southern side of the Radstädter Tauern. The municipality also includes part of the Obertauern ski region. When planning your stay, you can first decide whether to focus on walking, culture or winter experiences.
Hiking with Specific Destinations
The Tweng Circular Trail offers a specific destination for an outing: the Tennfall waterfall can be reached via the trail. The waterfall lies at the entrance to the Lantschfeld Valley. Tweng also has numerous hiking trails and mountain tours. So, alongside a named circular trail, there are other hiking and touring options to consider. The municipality also lists cycling routes among its leisure activities. Cycling, circular hikes and mountain tours therefore offer different starting points for planning your day, without having to combine them into a single route.
The well-described cultural trails offer a special way to combine physical activity with regional themes. They lead to monuments, geological features and natural attractions. If you want to choose a hike based on more than just the type of activity, you can also take these destinations into account: the cultural trails focus on architectural and cultural monuments as well as geological and natural features.
Chapel, Milestones and Parish Church
Tweng’s attractions include the Roman milestones and the Catholic Parish Church of the Holy Cross. Two milestones stand beside the B99, the Katschberg Road, at the edge of the forest between Obertauern and Tweng. The Lantschfeld Chapel offers a different landscape setting: it stands at the end of the Tweng Lantschfeld Valley, at an altitude of 1,649 metres. The Salzburg list of protected monuments dated 30 June 2025 lists the chapel as protected by ordinance.
These places offer different ways to discover Tweng’s culture: the milestones are Roman relics beside the Katschberg Road, the parish church is a local religious landmark, and the chapel lies deep in the Lantschfeld Valley. Together with the cultural trails, they offer a choice between individual attractions and routes leading to monuments, geological features or natural attractions. When planning, you can therefore consider either a specific destination or a broader, themed hiking experience.
Winter Trails and Seasonal Activities
There are also different ways to spend time outdoors in winter. In Tweng, snowy fields and forests invite you to go winter hiking. There is also a 15-kilometre cross-country ski trail. Seasonal conditions and trail operations may change, so check the latest information before your trip. Horse-drawn sleigh rides are also available, but are seasonal. If you would like to plan this activity, check availability for your travel dates.
The winter activities offer different experiences: the trail is for cross-country skiing, winter hikes take you through snowy fields and forests, and horse-drawn sleigh rides are a seasonal offering. This distinction can help you choose when to travel, depending on which activities matter most to you. In other seasons, hiking trails, mountain tours and cycling routes offer other ways to enjoy the outdoors.
Choose Tweng as Your Destination
Tweng offers several specific reasons to stay: the Tennfall waterfall at the entrance to the Lantschfeld Valley, hiking and mountain tours, cycling routes, cultural trails, and attractions such as the chapel, milestones and parish church. In winter, these are joined by the cross-country ski trail, walks through snowy landscapes and seasonal horse-drawn sleigh rides.
