Summer excursion destinations in Schladming

The Benedictine monastery at Admont is home to one of the most impressive monastery libraries in the world. The magnificent library is the largest of its kind worldwide, and is of inestimable value. Admont houses not only an impressive collection of historical books, but also an art history museum and a natural history museum, which provide fascinating insights into history and nature. The Gothic Museum is also a delight, with its outstanding collection of artworks from the period, while the Museum of Contemporary Art brings contemporary art to life within the historic monastery walls. The Admont Benedictine monastery is not only a spiritual place, but also a cultural centre that takes visitors on a fascinating journey through the centuries.

The waterside trails forming this unique natural experience stretch from Schladming deep into the Untertal and Obertal valleys of Rohrmoos, and even up to an altitude of 2,600 metres. It’s a place so special that it even bears the title of “National Geographic Hiking Trail”. Here, hikers can experience not only the beauty of the alpine mountains, but also the power and wildness of water. A dramatic suspension bridge offers spectacular views, as the Riesachsee lake glistens calmly in the midst of the natural landscape. The “Wilde Wasser” themed trail is not only a natural wonder, but also an unforgettable excursion destination for anyone looking to discover the treasures of the Schladming mountains.
