Smaragdbahn Sommer

Bramberg, Salzburg

The Wildkogel-Arena combines the pristine nature of the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern holiday region, wonderful forest air, fresh spring water, regional products, and down-to-earth people. Those dreaming of mountain holidays and favorite spots will surely find what they are looking for here. Families who appreciate variety choose the Wildkogel mountain railways. They are among the "Best Austrian Summer Mountain Railways" and are recognized as mountain specialists for families with their offerings. This can be seen right next to the mountain station of the Wildkogelbahn in Neukirchen. Here, the Abenteuer-Arena Kogel-Mogel ensures high spirits, featuring a giant wooden playground with an eagle's nest, ball track, Goliath swing, and much more. On the giant trampoline, visitors can make real jumps into the air. The next adventure awaits: the Panoramaweg, which runs from the mountain station (2,091 m) to the middle station (1,644 m). From there, the Rutschenweg begins, with ten stainless steel slides (22 to 53 meters long), one of which offers a "free fall and wow effect." From the endpoint at Gasthof Stockenbaum, it takes about 45 minutes to walk down a cozy trail into the valley of Neukirchen. Fun on three wheels is offered by the Mountaincart track. It goes straight up with the Smaragdbahn (Bramberg) and down over four winding kilometers with all-terrain, three-wheeled carts – a huge fun that definitely calls for a repeat. There are also other ways to descend from the Smaragdbahn mountain station back into the valley. A tip is the Smaragdbahnweg, which leads to the middle station of the Smaragdbahn.
