Uttendorf brings together several different activities: a nature trail with a fixed endpoint, a family-friendly circular trail, the adventure bathing lake and the Stoanabichl Celtic village. You can plan your stay around the activities you would like to enjoy. There is also practical information on roads and seasonal buses for travelling into the Stubach Valley. If you are looking for accommodation, first decide whether hiking, water activities, culture or the journey to the valley station will be your main focus.
Trails with different formats
The butterfly nature trail starts in Uttendorf village and ends at the Alpengasthaus Liebenberg. It is around three kilometres long and takes about one and a half hours. Its start, endpoint, length and duration make it an easy option to plan. The Landwirtschaft themed trail is in the Schwarzenbach district: this family-friendly circular trail is about 3.9 kilometres long. The two trails therefore differ not only in length, but also in format. The butterfly nature trail has a named start and endpoint and an approximate duration, while the Landwirtschaft trail is specifically a circular route. If you prefer a loop, that is a useful point of reference; if you would rather follow a route with a named destination, the butterfly nature trail leads to the Alpengasthaus Liebenberg.
Water and activities at the adventure bathing lake
The Uttendorf adventure bathing lake offers a range of water activities and other things to do. Facilities include a giant water slide, a climbing iceberg, a water trampoline and swimming islands. There are also beach volleyball courts, a sports park, a bouldering park and a children’s playground. You can choose activities to suit your interests: alongside features in the water, there are courts and parks for other activities. When planning your day, consider which of these options matter to you and whether you want the lake to be a main focus of your itinerary.
Stoanabichl Celtic village
The Stoanabichl Celtic village is in Uttendorf, at an altitude of about 1,000 metres, on a naturally protected hilltop. Its elevation and distinctive hilltop setting give this visit a character of its own among the activities on offer in Uttendorf. Guided tours use audio guides in German, English, Italian, Dutch and Czech. If you would like to use one of these languages, you can take that into account when planning a guided visit.
Into the Stubach Valley and to the valley station
The toll-free panoramic road through the Stubach Valley runs from Uttendorf for 17 kilometres to the valley station in Enzingerboden. The named destination helps you plan your journey into the valley. There is also a public transport connection: Postbuses or the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn connect Zell am See station with Uttendorf. In summer, Postbus route 672 runs from there directly to the cable car valley station. Options vary by transport mode and season; check the timetable for your chosen connection for the day you plan to travel.
Choosing accommodation in Uttendorf
When looking for a hotel in Uttendorf, it helps to decide first which activities you want to prioritise: which of the two types of trail, the lake or the Celtic village would you like to shape your stay around? If you also want to visit the valley station, the road connection and summer bus may be additional factors. Then compare the specific location of your accommodation with your planned destinations and preferred connections.
