High above the rooftops of the imperial city, on May 7, people cooked, served, played music—and, above all, enjoyed themselves. In collaboration with the Bad Ischl Tourism Schools, the Katrin was transformed Katrin a stage for culinary delights, team spirit, and genuine hospitality.

At the beginning of summer, the unique landscape of the Katrin alp becomes the backdrop for a wonderful festival.

Our natural world holds so many little treasures in store for us—and that's precisely why it's so valuable for even the youngest children to be able to discover forests and meadows with open eyes.

Enjoy an extraordinary and unforgettable evening in the mountains—with wonderful wines, the Dachstein backdrop, and background music.

A very special experience awaits early risers on August 29, 2026. The first gondola departs at 4:40 a.m., taking passengers up to the Herzberg before the day even begins. 

The sunrise tour offers a rare opportunity to experience Bad Ischl and the surrounding mountains at dawn—quiet, clear, and far away from everyday life.

Early risers can look forward to a very special experience on August 29, 2026, in cooperation with the Exciting Fit gym and yoga trainer Christina Herbst.

Experience the sunrise at Herzberg Bad Ischl and start your day with breakfast overlooking the rooftops of the Salzkammergut. Reservations required.

The aroma of freshly roasted chestnuts is in the air!
