Grossgmain
The town is divided in two by the German border. On the Austrian side is a large heritage park which depicts the rural way of life. Original farmhouses and century-old buildings were moved here form other parts of Salzburg to form an outdoor museum. Nearby is Untersberg natural park, with picnic sites, walking and hiking trails and even rural inns for food and relaxation.

Untersberg
6km/4mi southwest of Schloss Hellbrunn in Salzburg lies St Leonhard (459m/1,506ft; Schloss of 1570), with the lower station of a cableway over 2,800m/3,060yds long up the Salzburger Hochthron (1,856m/6,091ft), the highest Austrian peak in the Untersberg massif (nature reserve).
Further north of the Hagenbirge rears the Untersberg (1,853m/6,082ft), an emblem of the town of Salzburg and steeped in legend. It is the most striking hill in the Salzburg area and the only one in the Northern Calcareous Alps to rise directly out of the plain. The upper station (1,776m/5,827ft; restaurant) lies below the summit of the Geiereck (1,806m/5,925ft), which can be reached in eight minutes.
