So much to see, so much to experience

When a region has more to offer

Silent waters run deep, as the saying goes... As popular as the Lungau has been for many a year hosting guests from near and far, it has still managed to preserve its peaceful tranquility. But even aside from mountains and nature, it conceals countless other memorable highlights you might not notice at first glance. Special events, outstanding dining opportunities, stores: the mix is colorful, with many events, restaurants and shops representing a successful combination of traditional and modern.

Our event recommendations

Always something new

Speiereckhütte

Youthpower and coolness combined with the best cuisine, casual service, chill music and a unique view. At the Speiereckhütte in Mauterndorf, the alpine refuge character has been given a young lifestyle. The term party atmosphere takes on new dimensions here, and at events like "Zügellos" this is given even more emphasis.

Samson

It’s impossible to imagine Lungau without this one particular figure: Whenever “Samson” comes out onto the streets, it’s time to celebrate. This giant with a 300-year history is always accompanied by local musicians, sometimes even by two dwarfs. The dates of our Samson parades are posted at www.lungau.at.

Our Dining Tips

Where life itself is celebrated

Wohnwaren-Kaffee Stegmühle

Have you ever bought a coffee cup or cake dish right off the table of a coffeehouse? Well, that’s precisely what’s possible at Wohnwaren-Kaffee Stegmühle in Mauterndorf – our personal tip, not least because of their laid-back breakfasts. The combination of a café and household rarities shop is charming and smart, while they even host small art exhibitions from time to time as well. The culinary offer is organic, regional, fair trade or homemade: from breakfast rolls to coffee, from soda pop to fine distilled spirits.

Lazy Flamingo Obertauern

Though actually a ski metropolis, Obertauern is also well worth a visit in summer – while most of the local restaurants are busily preparing for next winter, a number of hotspots stay open. The “Lazy Flamingo”, for example, treats its summer guests to a laid-back gastronomic concept: In the American Restaurant – Diner – Bar, you are able to enjoy mouthwatering burger variations, fajitas and wraps. The “American way of life” in the middle of the Radstädter Tauern mountains. A great tip!
