Schloss Fuschl
A symphony of design and history
Rosewood Schloss Fuschl combines elegance and tradition with its masterfully restored historic tower, stylishly modernized guest rooms, inviting lobby and magnificent public areas. Built back in 1461 as a hunting lodge for the Salzburg prince archbishops, it served as a venue for legendary hunts and royal gatherings for centuries. Over the years, the estate has played host to a select society, including famous film stars such as Romy Schneider, who filmed some scenes of the legendary Sisi film trilogy here, as well as many other internationally renowned personalities. Since its transformation into a luxury hotel in 1947, the estate has attracted worldwide attention for its incomparable beauty.

Alpine panorama, meadows and pastures
Fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains alternate with glimpses of various types of forest, meadows and pastures. The Fuschlseerundweg is a path that is mostly close to the lakeshore – only on the western shore, at Fuschl Castle and in the area where the Fuschler Ache flows out, does the path move away from the lakeshore a little, but leads through a scenically attractive nature reserve.
