Camping Saggraben

Given the high-energy nature of this site’s outdoor centre, perhaps first forays off site should be best spent unwinding at the Ybbstaler Solebad spa, 20 minutes’ drive from base. Those looking for a simpler, back-to-basics kind of activity might prefer to pass a few hours at the Landl swimming pond (15 minutes away) instead, while anyone who wants to be kept busier can opt for a trip to Sankt Gallen waterpark (20 minutes). Get a feel for the history of the area by travelling to the 13th-century Gallenstein Castle (20 minutes) for evenings of music and literature, by learning all about the Austrian forestry trade at the Silvanum Forest Museum (five minutes), or by visiting the largest monastic library in the world at Admont Abbey (35 minutes). Planning on visiting during the colder months? The site is less than 25 minutes from Hochkar skiing area, so it's pretty straightforward to hit the slopes.
