The parish church on Abtenau’s main square has medieval origins and Gothic character, serving the market town at the entrance to the Lammertal valley. Abtenau sits about 45 minutes south of Salzburg on the road toward the Dachstein region. The town is known for its traditional Perchtenlaufen carnival, a centuries-old Alpine folk tradition of elaborately carved winter masks and processions, now recognized as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. Free entry. Combine with the Lammerklamm gorge for a half-day valley excursion from Salzburg.
