One of the new themed trails on the Loser in Altaussee provides interesting facts about life, tradition, history and mentality in the Salzkammergut.
Together, historian Dr Helmut Kalss and Kulturfux, Michaela Fuchs, have created a fantastic themed trail on the Loser with information boards and an audio guide in three languages.
The two-hour hike from the mountain station of the Loser panoramic cable car via the Bräuningalm to the Gschwandsattel provides deeper insights into the region and explores the proverbial resistance and linguistic repartee of the Salzkammergut locals.

Proper backpacking makes a lot of things easier:
  • Pack heavy things first.
  • The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket.
  • All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.
  • An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
