The Region in Summer

Summer holiday at Prinsengut – Nature, Activity & Relaxation

In summer, the area around Prinsengut offers a unique combination of nature experiences, outdoor activities and relaxation in the Hochkönig region.


The famous Königsweg connects the villages of Maria Alm, Dienten and Mühlbach across approximately 74 kilometres, winding through impressive mountain landscapes, unspoilt nature and idyllic alpine meadows. Also very popular are the herb hikes to the 13 herb alpine pastures, where you can discover the diversity of alpine flora.


The region is also a true highlight for cyclists. The Hochkönig region is recognised as the world's first e-bike region with charging stations at numerous alpine huts. High-quality e-bikes can be hired directly in Hinterthal at Sport Mayer – perfect for exploring the mountain scenery comfortably on two wheels.


A special bonus for our guests is the Hochkönig Card, which you receive upon arrival. In summer, it gives you access to mountain railways, hiking buses and many leisure activities in the region free of charge or at discounted prices.

Whether hiking, mountain biking, swimming in crystal-clear mountain lakes or simply relaxing in nature – a summer holiday at Prinsengut has something for everyone.
