Bad weather programme: What does the Fuschlseeregion have to offer in rainy weather?
If the weather doesn't play ball on holiday, there's no need to worry. Because there are many activities in and around the Fuschlseeregion that you can do even in rainy weather. Here you will find valuable tips and ideas for a varied bad weather programme near the Fuschlseeregion.
Bad weather programme in the Fuschlseeregion
The sun doesn't shine every day, but even when it hides behind clouds, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the Fuschlseeregion, the Salzkammergut and the city of Salzburg. The following family activities are suitable as a bad weather programme with children and are fun even in rainy weather.
Immerse yourself in the history and customs of the Fuschlseeregion and visit the enchanting doll's house museum in Hintersee, the local history museum in Ebenau or the Mühlgrub smoke house in Hof bei Salzburg. The former Plötzhof prison, which is now a museum, is a little more sombre. An insider tip for car fans is the MANRO Classic car museum in Koppl, where you can admire exclusive vintage cars as well as musical instruments and other antiques.
Feel-good day despite rainy weather: the best wellness experiences in bad weather
In bad weather, swimming pools, thermal spas and day spas offer the ideal opportunity to escape the bad weather and spend a relaxing day in the warmth. In the surrounding area, the sauna world at the Fuschlseebad, the EurothermenResort in Bad Ischl or the Wellnessalm in St. Wolfgang are great places to relax.
For a luxurious day spa, we recommend Ebner's Waldhof in Fuschl am See or the Romantik Hotel Im Weissen Rössl in St. Wolfgang. Both offer a true pampering programme with an exclusive spa area and high-quality wellness treatments.

Under the motto "Culture is the new salt", you can look forward to a fascinating programme full of art and culture.
Stroll through the city of Salzburg
No other city is as famous for its rainy weather as the city of Salzburg. As a guest, you have to experience the "Salzburg Schnürlregen" at least once. But don't worry, the city of Mozart has many indoor sights to offer and awaits you with a colourful cultural programme even outside the festival season.
At the Haus der Natur, families can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of science and nature and spend an educational and fun-filled day.
Numerous experiments and interactive exhibitions inspire young and old alike. At the Salzburg Toy Museum, young children can try out a variety of toys and play, experience and marvel together with other children. But a little outdoor experience is a must: The fortress railway takes you up to Hohensalzburg Fortress. High above the city, you not only enjoy an impressive view of the city of Mozart, but also gain an insight into the history of Salzburg. Children of all ages will be transformed into brave knights and noble damsels in no time at all.
