Fuschl am See is a small village on one of the clearest lakes in the Salzburg region, 20 minutes east of the city. Schloss Fuschl, a 15th-century hunting castle on a peninsula converted to a luxury hotel and former Austrian Foreign Ministry guesthouse, defines the lake’s upscale character. The accommodation options are limited to the Schloss Fuschl and a few private properties; most visitors come as a day trip from Salzburg. The Wolfgangsee and Mondsee are within easy reach. The Salzburg Sound of Music filming locations are in the surrounding area.

Fuschl am See
The Fuschlsee is one of the smallest and clearest lakes in the Salzburg lake district, and Schloss Fuschl, a 15th-century hunting castle converted to a luxury hotel on a peninsula, sits at the water's edge in a way that makes the combination of lake, castle, and forested mountain backdrop look composed.
