Day 7 – Free day to discover the Austrian Alps
With a day at leisure, there is no shortage of options if you
want to explore further afield. The famous mountain resort of
neighbouring Kitzbühel is just a short and scenic train journey
away. With charming medieval streets filled with colourful
buildings containing chic shops, bars and cafés, this attractive
town oozes Tyrolean character.
The quintessential alpine town of St Johann is home to the
quaint Mariä Himmelfahrt church. With its yellow façade and twin
Baroque towers, it has an ornately decorated interior and sits in
the main square alongside equally graceful buildings. Housed in an
18th-century penitentiary for dissolute priests, the town's museum
details the social and natural history of the region.
A picturesque train journey through valleys can take you to
gorgeous Lake Zell and the lakeside town of Zell am See. You can
stroll along the lakefront promenade, stopping to savour one of the
many delightful views while enjoying your picnic lunch, before
discovering the picture-book triangular Stadtplatz in the centre.
From Zell am See, you can also take the local bus to the
spectacular Krimml Waterfalls, the highest in Austria.
Regrouping at your hotel this evening, you gather for your final
dinner together in Austria.
