Bad Ischl: The Salzkammergut's secret capital

Bad Ischl is an imperial city, spa town and in 2024, it will be the focal point of the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024. The symbiosis of architecture, culture and tradition reflect the history and artistic diversity of the town - pointing the way into the future. Bad Ischl’s beauty and relaxing effect has been appreciated by holiday makers for centuries – spearheaded by Emperor Franz Franz Joseph.

Architecture in Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl’s architecture is a mix of historic buildings, traditional Alpine architecture, and influences from various eras. The city by the river Traun is also considered the birthplace of the "Sommerfrische," a summer holiday that takes you out of the city to enjoy the cooler climate of the mountains. The trend was started when Emperor Franz Joseph I. and Empress Sisi went there on holiday and were copied first by members of the aristocracy, then industrial magnates and finally the bourgeoisie.

Hotels, coffee houses, casinos, and promenades were built to be the new playground for Austria’s high society and onlookers from all over Europe. Many artists, such as Anton Bruckner , Johannes Brahms and Franz Lehár, discovered the magic of a summer holiday in the countryside as well. These holiday makers built fantastic villas for themselves and it is these buildings that dominate the face of the town to this day.

Summer Holidays in the Salzkammergut

Were did it all start.

With the emperor, of course. His parents had remained childless for a long time until they travelled to Bad Ischl to bathe in the healing saline waters. Soon after, Franz Joseph was born. This basically made him a son of Bad Ischl and he spent 83 out of his 86 summers there.

Of course, an emperor never travelled alone. The longer Franz Joseph reigned, the larger the entourage became that accompanied him on his summer holiday. At some point, seemingly half of Vienna relocated to Bad Ischl for the summer months. “In Ischl, I always feel as though the surrounding mountains are some kind of decoration that someone draped around Vienna’s Ringstrasse Boulevard,” said satirist Karl Kraus. By then, the small Bad Ischl had turned into an imperial spa town.

The emperor seems to have loved Bad Ischl mostly because of the surrounding nature. He used to leave town in the early morning to roam the surrounding mountains and enjoy the hours when he was - finally - free from any obligations.

The fact that there are over 1000 hunting trophies mounted on the walls of the imperial villa has probably less to do with the thrill of the hunt than the opportunity for freedom which every single hunting expedition provided.

The Imperial Villa ( Kaiservilla ) in Bad Ischl is so large that in many other places, it might be called a palace. The furniture is surprisingly comfortable and one gets the impression the villa’s inhabitants just left for a daytrip that morning and will be back in the evening. Even the desk in the study seems as if someone had just left it for a brief break. This is where the emperor wrote the manifesto „An meine Völker!“, to declare the war on Serbia which ended in a catastrophe for Europe.

Imperial Getaway: 7 Things to do in Bad Ischl in the Lake District

Bad Ischl feels to me like the capital of the Salzkammergut Lake District. It isn’t. The Lake District extends over the provinces of Salzburg Land and Upper Austria, all the way from Salzburg to Hallstatt, and of course does not have a capital. But Bad Ischl was the summer resort town for the Habsburg emperor during most of the 19th century and up until the first world war and still has a strong imperial vibe to it.

Also, Bad Ischl is different from the other Lake District towns and villages in that it does not have a lake, but Bad Ischl is a city rich in history and culture. Therefore, there are lots of things to do in Bad Ischl. The abundance of culture has also spilled over into the culinary arts with the world-famous confectionery Zauner or into the spa culture since that’s what Bad Ischl was already about under Emporer.

To me, Bad Ischl served as a hub for exploring other places in the Salzkammergut, since in Bad Ischl you, other than in Hallstatt or other smaller places, you can find budget accommodation. In this article, you will find out about all the worthwhile things to do in Bad Ischl as well as in the surroundings.

1. Bad Ischl Kaiservilla

the Kaiservilla is the best of the things to do in Bad Ischl

If you are into history, the visit to the Kaiservilla, the imperial residence, is one of the obligatory things to do in Bad Ischl. The villa was a wedding gift to emperor Franz Josef I on the occasion of his marriage to Elisabeth from Bavaria, better known as Sissi. The residence was described by emperor Franz Josef as “heaven on earth” and extensively used, especially during the summers, before the declaration of war was signed there in 1914 which ultimately sealed the downfall of the Habsburg monarchy.

The residence is still owned by the descendants of Franz Josef, who live in half of the house while the other half and the large garden are open to visitors. I once met one of them in the garden. As I was equipped with large lenses, he mistook me for a paparazzi and wanted to see my pictures before he began to ramble about the trees and the soil in the garden.

The interior of the villa can only be visited on a guided tour on which photographs are unfortunately prohibited. All the interior furnishings from the hundreds of vows hanging on the wall to the desk where Franz Josef signed the declaration of war are still present in the original. I have never visited a place where you get a better idea of what the Habsburg monarchy must have been.

Opening Times: In November and December, the Kaiservilla is only open on the weekends, and in January, February and March it’s not open at all. The rest of the year the Kaiservilla grounds are open but the tours are not always on. Visit the Kaiservilla website to find out if the tours are taking place when you are there.

Tickets: There are tickets for the Kaiservilla with and without the tour, but as I mentioned, you can only see the interior of the villa on the guided tour, so it is highly recommended. Tours start every hour and take about 45 minutes.

2. Salzkammergut Spa: Eurotherme Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl is a historic thermal spa town. It became popular among the elite of the Habsburg empire including the empower himself because of one man, doctor Wirer who praised the healing effects of Bad Ischls water. Nowadays we are not that convinced anymore but nowadays Bad Ischl features a high-end spa whos positive effects for body and soul we don’t doubt. Now, Bad Ischl is only one of many places in Austria that offers a great spa experience, but if you are thinking about dropping out for a day to enjoy the Sauna, the pools, and a massage, it’s up at the top with the best spa places in Austria.

The Eurothermen Resort is right in front of the train station Bad Ischl, in the central location, which is especially convenient since Bad Ischl is a hub for travel all over the Salzkammergut area. The Bad Ischl therme is an actual resort, so you could even book your accommodation at the spa but that’s a bit pricey. The entrance fee for the spa at €24,50 (in 2022) for the whole day, however, is moderate compared to other spa places in Austria. You could of course also get a 4-hour ticket and relax in the evening after roaming around town or the surroundings.

3. Bad Ischl Katrin – Bad Ischl Cable Car

Whenever possible I like to see the places I visit from above. In Bad Ischl, you have serial options to do so and the Katrin Cable Car might be the best one. In 15-minutes the historic cable car from the 1950s takes you to 1400 meters above sea level which is almost 1000 meters above the altitude of Bad Ischl.

The valley station of the cable car is located about 2 kilometers outside of Bad Ischl. The best way to get there is on foot which takes you about 20-30 minutes. Here you will find the prices and the timetable for the cable car .

If a hike is on your personal list of things to do in Bad Ischl, you can also just hike the Katrin mountain. The starting point for a hike is the same. You start the hike at the valley station of the cable car and it takes you about 2-3 hours to climb the 1000 meters in altitude. That is exhausting, especially if you aren’t used to hiking, but if it gets to be too much, you can always take the cable car down instead of hiking.

  • Visit the Katrin Cable Car Website

4. Siriuskogl

From Bad Ischl, the mountain or hill I would choose to hike is Siriuskogl. It was originally named Hundskogel (dogs hill) and only given a more attractive name as summer resorts in the Salzkammergut arose: Sirius is the main star of the constellation Great Dog.

There are countless hiking routes in the surroundings of Bad Ischl, but Siriuskogel is more of a hill than a mountain and close enough to the village to have a great view over the town. If you would like to embark on a real hike, you might rather want to consider Katrin mountain, the one from the previous thing to do in Bad Ischl. Siriuskogel is actually only 100 meters in altitude but could also be reached by cable car.

The cable car, however, at least for a while was only used for the restaurant at the Siriuskogelwarte, the tower that’s visible from everywhere in town. The restaurant, if you would like to time your easy hike from Bad Ischl accordingly is really good and recommended.

5. Coffee and Zaunerstollen at k.u.k. Konditorei Zauner

tourist info bad ischl

 Places like Vienna, Salzburg, and Linz had and still have k.u.k. confectionary shops (Konditoreien). What does that mean? k.u.k. stands for “kaiserlich und königlich”, imperial and royal, referring to the Habsburg monarchy. These places were Habsburg certified meaning they were the only ones allowed to serve sweets to the imperial court. Since the Habsburg emperor spent his summers in Bad Ischl, Bad Ischl of course needed one of these Confectionaries.

tourist info bad ischl

Therefore, Coffee and Cake is not just an option but should be on every traveler’s list of things to do in Bad Ischl. The choice of the cake is also simple at Konditorei Zauner. One of the creations of that specific pastry shop is called Zaunerstollen. Among the ingredients in Zaunerstollen are nougat, hazelnuts, chocolate, and more. Zaunerstollen is served in small pieces, but it is so hearty that a single small slice is enough to satisfy a glutton. Konditorei Zauner offers a traditional Austrian coffeehouse experience with its stunning interior and relaxed vibe. If you would like to know what Austrian coffee houses are like, I recommend this article on the Free Walking Tour Salzburg’s Blog .

6. Bad Ischl Walking Tour

tourist info bad ischl

While the Kaiservilla, the spa, the Cable Car, and the Coffee at Zauner are obvious things to do in Bad Ischl, there are many small details that are not exactly things to do but rather things to notice. Even though you can head straight to Eurothermen or the emperor’s mansion from the train station, it is recommended to explore every corner of the town of Bad Ischl.

As you explore the city, pay attention to the architecture, such as the Postoffice, the Trinkhalle, the Leharvilla, the Kongress & Theaterhaus, and more. They all bear witness to the unique history of the place. If you have been to Vienna and think about the architecture, you will notice that Bad Ischl is like the countryside equivalent to that. Here is our self-guided walking tour of Bad Ischl with a suggested route, stops, and information about the things to see in Bad Ischl.

7. Taking a day trip from Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl is often visited on a day trip from Salzburg. Most often Bad Ischl is not even visited on a day trip, but Hallstatt is usually the final destination and Bad Ischl just serves as a transfer point. Bad Ischl, however, can also serve as a great hub for day trips to the surroundings of Salzkammergut villages.

tourist info bad ischl

You can find budget accommodations in Bad Ischl, as opposed to Hallstatt or other smaller, more popular places. I used Bad Ischl several times as a hub to explore the surroundings. Hallstatt, for example, would take you almost three hours from Salzburg, but staying in Bad Ischl lets you reach it in 20-40 minutes.

Salzburg works very well for day trips, however, if your day trips are focused on the Salzkammergut, then staying in Bad Ischl is a clear advantage. With Bad Ischl, you can access Lake Wolfgangsee, Hallstättersee, but also other lakes like Traunsee which would not only take longer but also be more difficult to reach from Salzburg. Here are a few ideas on day trips to take from Bad Ischl:

  • Day Trip to Hallstatt : Hallstatt is the most popular place in the Lake District and one of the most popular places in Austria overall. Hallstatt is known as the most photographed village in Europe and the Chinese even created a replica of Hallstatt in the province of Guangdong. Bad Ischl would anyway be your transit point when coming to Hallstatt from Salzburg but when staying in Bad Ischl, you only take the last part of the journey by either bus 542 and 543 or by train and boat.
  • Day Trip to Sankt Wolfgang : Sankt Wolfgang is a typical Salzkammergut village and one of my favorite places in the Salzkammergut Lake District. In Sankt Wolfgang, there is also one of my favorite activities in the Lake District which is the Schafbergbahn, a steam train taking you to 1800 meters of altitude. From Bad Ischl, it only takes you half an hour with a direct bus. If you are heading to Sankt Wolfgang, here is an article on things to do in Sankt Wolfgang on the Free Walking Tour Salzburg Blog .
  • Day Trip to Gmunden : Gmunden on Traunsee is just another example of places that can easily be reached from Bad Ischl. It only takes 40 minutes to reach Gmunden on a direct train from Bad Ischl.

Emperor Franz Josef I. was known for his good taste. Ultimately, large cities have his beautiful spirit to thank for the fact that they are still today so marvellously imperial. Just like Bad Ischl, the cultural heart of the Salzkammergut.

Bad Ischl is known as a charming small town and as the cultural centre of the Salzkammergut. The pretty alleys invite you to stroll through and enjoy, and while you walk in the footsteps of Emperor Franz Josef, feel yourself immediately transported back in time to the turn of the century. Bad Ischl is also popular as a traditional health resort with a keen sense of the Zeitgeist.

The city has a long history and is characterised as the summer residence of the Imperial Court. For 60 years, Franz Josef came every year to this summer retreat and thus began a tradition which is felt even today in many places. However, you never get the feeling that time has stopped here.

European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024

Salzkammergut 2024 | © Salzkammergut 2024

In 2024, the Salzkammergut [salt domain], with the banner town of Bad Ischl, is the first inner-Alpine, rural region to bear the title of European Capital of Culture. A total of 23 municipalities included in the cultural capital region in the Provinces of Upper Austria and Styria offer a wide range of cultural events and activities.

The Salzkammergut is known for its long history, beginning 7,000 years ago with salt-mining in Hallstatt. Its social and cultural heyday came in the late 19th century, with Bad Ischl as the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Today, the region is distinguished by its cultural diversity and deep-rooted active traditions; in the year as Cultural Capital, particular emphasis will be laid on these aspects.

The varied programme, to be launched in Bad Ischl on 20 January 2024, includes some 200 projects in the form of film, photography, concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, symposia and workshops. The focus will be on regional identity, cultural discourse, tourism and the future of rural areas. All details of the programme are available on the official website of Salzkammergut 2024 .

How to get there

The number 150 bus runs every half-hour between Salzburg main train station and Bad Ischl station. From Bad Ischl, the other participating places can be reached by the Salzkammergut Shuttle.

Stedentrip: Bad Ischl in Oberösterreich

tourist info bad ischl

Centraal in de deelstaat Oberösterreich ligt de stad Bad Ischl, een charmante stad met veel gezichten. De stad is te omschrijven als kuuroord, cultuurstad en als Kaiserstadt waar Kaiser Franz Joseph en zijn Sisi menig zomer doorbrachten. Veelzijdig en zeer geschikt voor een stedentrip. De omliggende indrukwekkende bergwereld krijg je er bij cadeau. Een perfecte combinatie van stad en natuur, voor een trip vol hoogtepunten. Letterlijk en figuurlijk. Volg deze tips op en je ontdekt het beste van twee werelden hier in het hart van Salzkammergut.

In 2024 is Bad Ischl de Culturele Hoofdstad van Europa! Al sinds 1985 wordt er jaarlijks een stad gekozen als culturele hoofdstad, sinds 2004 zijn dat zelfs twee of drie steden per jaar. In 2024 komt deze eer toe aan Bad Ischl, de stad zal samen met omliggende regio’s een uitgebreid programma aan culturele evenementen en activiteiten plannen. Om te onthouden!

Tip 1: Maak een stadswandeling met een gids door Bad Ischl

Wil je alle ins & outs van de stad Bad Ischl op een leuke manier leren kennen? Ga op pad met een stadsgids van de lokale Tourist Information.  Tijdens een stadswandeling van ongeveer 1,5 uur leer je de mooiste straten kennen waaronder de Glücksgasse, toont de gids je leuke winkels met streekproducten, leidt hij/zij je langs de bezienswaardigheden en vertelt je alles over het leven van keizer Frans Jozeph I en keizerin Elisabeth (Sisi). Wandel op je gemak langs het Eurothermen Resort, het Lehár Filmtheater, de Pfarrkirche, Trinkhalle, het Museum der Stadt, het Sisipark en het indrukwekkende Kongress & TheaterHaus met omringend Kurpark. Na de stadswandeling weet je precies waar je op eigen gelegenheid nog terug wilt gaan, welk koffietentje je nog wilt testen en wat er allemaal te doen is in de stad. Én waarom Bad Ischl bekend staat als klein, charmant en gezellig.

Tourismusverband Bad Ischl – Auböckplatz 5 – Trinkhalle, Bad Ischl Er zijn vaste tijden maar privé wandelingen zijn ook mogelijk.

Tip 2: Thee met taart bij Zauner

Cafe Konditorei Zauner is niet alleen een begrip in de stad Bad Ischl, gasten komen van heinde en verre om hier te zien en gezien te worden. De Konditorie bestaat sinds 1832 en is alles wat je van een vooraanstaande konditorie verwacht: chique, elegant, met de nodige bling bling én met de tijd meegegaan. Of zoals Zauner zelf schrijft: ‘ Eine Melange, dazu eine frische Mehlspeise : das ist im Cafe Zauner, seit 1832, nicht nur ein Genuss – hier ist es Kultur’. De gebakjes, bonbons en specialiteiten kijken je verleidelijk aan. Voorbij lopen aan Zauner is een uitdaging! En eerlijk, dat wil je ook niet. Zauner moet je ervaren, beleven én proeven. Kun je niet kiezen uit het aanbod, kies dan voor de klassieke Zaunerstollen. Om je vingers bij af te likken…

Konditorei Zauner – Pfarrgasse 7, Bad Ischl

tourist info bad ischl

Tip 3: In de voetsporen van Sissi

Wie interesse heeft in het leven van Sisi kan hier in Bad Ischl zijn/haar hart ophalen. De stad was jaar na jaar de zomerresidentie voor de keizerlijke familie, met de Kaiservilla en de grote Engelse tuin als thuis voor het paar. ‘In Wien befand sich der Kopf der Monarchie, in Ischl das Herz’. Het was hier in Bad Ischl dat keizer Frans Jozeph I en keizerin Elisabeth elkaar leerden kennen, verliefd werden en zich verloofden aan de Esplanade (tegenover SISSIKUSS in het huidige stadsmuseum). Elke zomer keerden ze terug naar Bad Ischl, voor een paar maanden vol sociale activiteiten en ontspanning.

De Kaiservilla is te bezoeken en geeft je een kijkje in het leven van de keizer en zijn Sisi. Niet alleen is het interieur van de zomerresidentie indrukwekkend, ook de tuinen ontworpen door Franz Rauch in Engelse landschapsstijl zijn een bezoek waard.

Kaiservilla – Jainzen 38, Bad Ischl

Tip 4: Een kus van Sissi

Om in de sfeer van Sissi te blijven, loop je na je bezoek aan de Kaiservilla naar de rivier Traun en de wandelpromenade. Daar ligt aan de Esplanade SISSIKUSS, het voormalige historische muziekpaviljoen (een plaatje om te zien!) waarin nu een kleine conceptstore met koffiehoek huist. Hier koop je trendy cadeautjes en design souvenirs met een knipoog naar het rijke verleden van Bad Ischl. Met de beroemdste historische figuren van de stad: keizerin Elisabeth (Sisi) en keizer Franz Joseph in de hoofdrol. De producten die hier verkocht worden, zijn uniek. Speciaal voor SISSIKUSS gemaakt, waarvan sommigen ontstaan door een samenwerking met boeren in de omgeving van de stad. 

Ook voor een korte pauze ben je hier aan het juiste adres. De hartelijke gastvrouw zet met liefde een kopje koffie voor je. Bij mooi weer zit je buiten op de gekleurde stoelen in de schaduw van de bomen aan de promenade, bij minder mooi weer in een van de zachte fauteuils in het historische decor.

SISSIKUSS – Esplanade (Pavillon), Bad Ischl

tourist info bad ischl

Tip 5: Flaneren en dineren op de Esplanade van Bad Ischl

De Esplanade (wandelpromenade langs de Traun) is een geliefde ontmoetingsplaats voor de inwoners van Bad Ischl. Een wandelingetje langs het water, groeten en ontmoeten, een eindje hardlopen, met een ijsje plaatsnemen of even doezelen op een van de bankjes onder de bomen: hier kom je even genieten van een lekker briesje langs het water. Na je bezoek aan SISSIKUSS is Restaurant Zauner Esplanade een fijne volgende stop én een goede plek om ‘s avonds romantisch te dineren op het terras aan de waterkant. Ook binnen is het prachtig! Niet hip en trendy, maar de traditionele architectuur uit 1940 is in ere hersteld en gecombineerd met moderne invloeden. Een ontmoetingsplek voor de ‘locals’ en een bijzonder plekje voor elk moment van de dag. Van traditionele delicatessen en ijsspecialiteiten in het café en klassieke Oostenrijkse gerechten in het restaurant: van Salzburger Nockerln tot Kaiserschmarrn, gemaakt van natuurlijke ingrediënten en producten uit de regio.

Tip 6: Met de Katrin Seilbahn naar grote hoogte

Plan je een stedentrip naar Bad Ischl, plan dan ook zeker een dagje de bergen in met de Katrin Seilbahn. Dit 4-persoons cabineliftje brengt al sinds 1959 gasten omhoog naar de ‘huisberg’ van de stad. De Katrin Seilbahn ligt op zo’n 1,5 kilometer van het centrum van de stad en wordt door velen gezien als een van de mooiste bergliften in Salzkammergut. In 15 minuten brengt Katrin je in haar gondeltjes naar een hoogte van 1400 meter. Het uitzicht onderweg op de stad en de vergezichten op de bergwereld boven maken je ‘gondelvaart’ alleen al de moeite waard. Zo mooi!

Boven aangekomen wacht je de wondere wereld van machtige bergtoppen, tot aan de Dachsteingletsjer op de grens van Oberösterreich, Salzburg en Steiermarken. Er zijn verschillende wandelingen mogelijk in het beschermd natuurgebied van het Katergebirge. Vanaf het bergstation klim je via pad Nr. 895 (een blauwe route) in 40 minuten naar de top van de Katrinberg (1542 m) met daarop het historische Franz-Josef-Kreuz. Geniet hier van een indrukwekkend uitzicht over Bad Ischl en de Wolfgangsee. Volg de blauwe route en wandel in ongeveer 15 minuten naar de volgende top, de Elferkogel (1601 m). Vanaf hier loop je via pad Nr. 898 in zo’n 40 minuten terug naar het Katrin Seilbahn Bergstation. Het is een blauwe route, maar let op: er zitten een paar smalle passages in de route.

Geoefende wandelaars kunnen de 7-Seenblick-Wanderung lopen, met onderweg de mooiste vergezichten en maar liefst 7 meren te bewonderen: de Hallstättersee, Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee, Nussensee, Schwarzensee en Traunsee. Alleen bij helder weer zie je de Tachinger See in Beieren liggen.

Kijk ook even op de website van de Katrin Seilbahn wanneer je er bent. Er worden wekelijks leuke activiteiten georganiseerd, zoals ontbijt en yoga op de berg.

Katrin Seilbahn – Kaltenbachstraße 62, Bad Ischl

tourist info bad ischl

Tip 7: Lunch bij de Katrin Almhütte

Ook wanneer je niet wilt wandelen is een ‘ritje’ met de Katrin Seilbahn een tip! Eenvoudig bereik je de Herzberg (alleen de naam al) en de op 1393 meter hoogte gelegen Katrin Almhütte. Een berghutje zoals een Oostenrijkse berghut hoort te zijn. Klein, gezellig en huiselijk. Met binnen enkele hoekbanken rond de houten tafels en buiten een zonnig terras met tafels en banken om aan te schuiven. Het adembenemend mooie uitzicht op de bergen krijg je er bij en is zo mooi dat je hier wel uren kunt gaan zitten staren. Ver weg van de bewoonde wereld en toch zo dichtbij… Je zintuigen worden geprikkeld terwijl je geniet van het panorama, de frisse berglucht en streekgerechten. Een paar uurtjes hier bij de Almhütte voelt als een complete vakantie.

Tip 8: Dineren op niveau bij de Siriuskogl

Over ho(o)g(t)e punten gesproken: een letterlijk en figuurlijk hoogtepunt van je verblijf in Bad Ischl is dineren bij Gasthaus Siriuskogl. Dit restaurant heeft de looks van een Oostenrijkse berghut, de kwaliteit van een sterrenrestaurant en een uitzicht als van een schilderij. De locatie is op zich alleen al een bezoek waard. Vanuit het centrum van Bad Ischl zie je de uitkijktoren op de Siriuskogl al boven de bossen uit torenen, het is een half uurtje klimmen naar het restaurant op de top (op 599 meter hoogte). Om de wandeling door het bos te veraangenamen, is er een Sinneswunderweg aangelegd met kijk-, luister- en leermomenten. Boven aangekomen vergeet je de inspanning. Het uitzicht beneemt je de adem en het gastvrije team van het Gasthaus heet je van harte welkom.

Hier op de top van de heuvel wordt op hoog niveau gekookt door Christopher Held en zijn team. Christopher is naast gastronoom een bekende televisiekok, heeft een eigen YouTube kanaal en is chef-kok op de Siriuskogel. Hij is wars van regels en culinaire prijzen. Gewonnen prijzen worden steevast teruggestuurd. ‘Ik laat me niet door anderen voorschrijven of ik het goed doe’, vertelt Christopher bij me aan tafel. ‘Ik ben anders dan anderen, werk vanuit mijn hart en wil graag toegankelijk blijven voor iedereen. Daarnaast laat ik graag zien hoe makkelijk én smakelijk gezond koken is’. Wanneer ik Christopher vraag wat hem zo bijzonder maakt, raakt hij niet uitgepraat. ‘Spannend’ is misschien wel de beste omschrijving voor zijn keuken. Elke dag is anders, niets gaat volgens het boekje of als bij anderen. Met de smaken van het seizoen is elke dag een verrassing. En dat verrassen doen ze hier het liefst. Je mag kiezen van de kaart, maar de keukenbrigade vindt het veel leuker om je te laten zien, proeven en ervaren wat ze het liefste doen: creatief (vegetarisch) koken. Het is niet moeilijk te begrijpen wat Christopher bedoelt wanneer ik mijn dessert van witte chocolademousse met asperges in een rode saus van aardbei, tomaat en chili en chocoladebrokken proef. Dit is hemels, ik ben verkocht!

Tip 9: Logeren bij Stadthotel Goldenes Schiff

In zo’n keizerlijke stad moet je wel in stijl overnachten: bij Stadthotel Goldenes Schiff . Er zijn een paar (hele) goede redenen om te kiezen voor dit hotel. Allereerst de ligging: direct aan de rivier Traun en in hartje stad. Loop de hoek om en je staat in de winkelstraat, bijna letterlijk op het terras van Cafe Konditorei Zauner. Ten tweede de missie van het hotel: sympathiek, ongedwongen en stijlvol zijn. Het gastvrije hotel heeft een prettige sfeer en een hip interieur. Interieurinspiratie gegarandeerd! Als derde het uitzicht: kies voor een van de nieuwe moderne kamers aan de rivierkant en geniet van het uitzicht over het water, de kleurrijke huizen en over de daken naar de bergen. Last but not least: de wellness. Na een dag slenteren door de stad of actief zijn in de bergen is de wellness van Goldenes Schiff een verademing. Maximaal ontspannen en weer opladen voor nieuwe avonturen.

Stadthotel Goldenes Schiff – Adalbert-Stifter-Kai 3, Bad Ischl

tourist info bad ischl

Tip 10: Traunsee, Wolfgangsee of Hallstättersee

Bad Ischl heeft een ideale ligging om je stedentrip te combineren met een bezoek aan het omringende berglandschap van Salzkammergut. De stad ligt op een kruising van drie dalen, je kunt dus alle kanten op. Het uitgebreide fietsnetwerk maakt een tocht door de dalen (en over de bergen) extra aantrekkelijk, vanuit Bad Ischl zijn verschillende lussen te maken. Huur een (elektrische) fiets (bij Hotel Goldenes Schiff) en ontdek de schoonheid van de bergen en meren. Ga je naar de Traunsee met het idyllische plaatsje Traunkirchen aan de waterkant? Begin je met een bezoek aan de Hallstättersee met het fotogenieke Hallstatt (wel vroeg gaan, dit dorpje is een grote toeristische trekpleister!) of staat het helderblauwe water van de Wolfgangsee   bovenaan je lijstje?
