Zell am See read Hello at the sea!– a charming town by Lake Zell, whose surroundings are a magnet for tourists and fans of active recreation. The clear (drinking water quality) and pleasantly warm waters of Lake Zell invite swimming, diving, windsurfing, and sailing enthusiasts, and the Schmittenhöhe mountain is Austria's most beautiful viewpoint mountain, from the summit of which a panorama of over thirty-three three-thousanders opens up.
What is worth seeing

Where is there a good place to eat:
Mitterberghof Restaurant Mitterbergweg 155, 5700 Thumersbach - access via a narrow asphalt road, right to the top from where there is a beautiful view of the lake and the town. We recommend the regional dish to eat:
– Late at night (Read Käsaknödle!) - dumplings (spätzle) fried with onions and a strong-smelling regional cheese! – the dish is usually served on a pan - this is a portion for two people. Käsaknödle are very filling!
