Discover Going am Wilden Kaiser through its distinctive nature and cultural experiences. Going swimming lake is fed by clear springs from the Wilder Kaiser, lies at the edge of the forest and offers panoramic views of the Kaiser Mountains. This combination of water and mountain scenery provides a striking focal point for planning your trip. If you are looking for a hotel in Going, first decide whether the landscape, hiking or an event date should be the focus of your stay.
Nature experiences at the lake, in the moor and on the Astberg
Moor & More is a natural adventure area in Going am Wilden Kaiser. It is set amid a restored moorland landscape with particularly impressive flora and fauna. While the springs, forest edge and panorama at the swimming lake provide a natural focal point, Moor & More puts the moorland and its plant and animal life centre stage. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between different nature themes.
A specific hike to Astbergsee starts on Lanzenweg in Going. After about 200 metres, the route joins hiking trail No. 6 and continues across meadows and through forests to the Hollenauer Kreuz snack station. From there, follow hiking trail No. 7 to Astbergsee. The Wilder Kaiser is reflected in the lake; you can sit on a bench and listen to the birdsong.
Another way to include the mountain in your plans is the Astbergbahn: the four-seat chairlift runs from Going up to the Astberg, at an elevation of 1,200 metres. Hiking and walking are possible there. This gives you two distinct options: a specific hike to Astbergsee, or a ride up the mountain with opportunities for walks and hikes on the Astberg.
Traditional craftsmanship and Bergdoktor locations
The Handwerkskunstmarkt (Traditional Crafts Market) is a fixture of Going’s summer events calendar and has itself become a tradition. Nearly forgotten crafts are practised and preserved there, including Pilotenschlagen, Federkielsticken, Dogglmachen and woodturning. In some places, visitors can try their hand at an old craft. If you want to include the market in your travel plans, check the specific event dates in advance; its connection to the summer events calendar is key.
The TV series “Der Bergdoktor” offers another point of interest: the Bergdoktor e-bike tour passes the church square in Going and the series’ three main filming locations. The village square in Going is regularly featured in the series. Fans of the show should distinguish between these two locations in Going: the church square is part of the e-bike tour described, while the statement about the village square refers to its recurring appearances in the series.
Choose accommodation based on your travel interests
When looking for a hotel in Going, it helps to decide first what you want to focus on. Should the Handwerkskunstmarkt, with its date in the summer events calendar, shape your stay, or are you mainly interested in the swimming lake, Moor & More and the mountain destinations? If you are looking for a connection to the TV series, you can also consider the Bergdoktor e-bike tour and the village square.
