Winter hike
Waidring - St. Ulrich am Pillersee

This beautiful winter hike begins next to the Gasthof Post in Waidring, where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stayed during one of his many journies. The building itself is located on a plateau offering fine views of the Steinplatte Waidring mountains. Inndeed, on a clear day you can almost see the gothic church of pilgrimage in the distance and the Gasthof St. Adolari, a good place to stop off for a drink and a snack. The church of pilgrimage dates back to the 15th century and is consecrated to Adalar, a follower of Saint Boniface. From the church it is just a short walk until you reach the start of the Pillersee lake, before following the shoreline into the centre of pretty St. Ulrich. Mozart would have ridden back in a horse and carriage, but these days there is a bus service back to the starting point in Waidring.
