Bad Ischl on Foot, with Places to Stay Longer
A walk from Bad Ischl station through the old spa town, plus the Kaiservilla, thermal baths, Siriuskogel, Katrin cable car and a pastry stop at Zauner.
Viewpoint
Siriuskogel is the wooded hill above Bad Ischl with the Franz-Josef observation tower at the top. The tower dates from 1885. There is also an inn, so the climb can be a walk for the view or part of a longer lunch stop.
This takes you uphill and deserves separate time. The Bad Ischl collection marks the hill as an option after the town walk; the drawn line stays in town. Follow the signed paths up from Bad Ischl and check the inn’s own information if you want to eat there or climb the tower. Tower access depends on the inn’s opening times.
