Mountain Georgenberg

Pleasant hiking Trails around and on mountain Georgenberg

Georgenberg is not just an “inselberg” with steeply rising rock
faces, it is also a unique spot for regeneration and rejuvenation
in nature. Leisurely walking routes lead along the asphalted
road around Georgenberg and onto the mountain itself. Explorers
can also use our hiking trails through the woods – but please
note that these are not suitable for pushchairs. If you look closely
you’ll spot caverns, northern bald ibises, caves, forest trails
and right at the top of the mountain, the daughter church of St.
Georg. The historically listed church features late Gothic architecture,
but it has a long history and has taken on many different
forms in its time.
The Celts identified Georgenberg as the perfect place to settle
due to its steeply rising rock faces and the far-reaching views out
towards Kuchl and the Göll massif. Colonisation can be traced
back to the Neolithic period and there is scientific evidence of
the Celtic settlement. The Roman road visible from the mountain
still shows the course of the former road to Salzburg. Visit the
Kuchl Museum where you can find out more about archaeological
discoveries and see special exhibitions on Georgenberg!
