Winter trails and leisure activities
The more than 100 km of walking and winter hiking trails are a key feature in their own right. Ice-stock and toboggan runs are also available as winter activities. When planning, you can distinguish between trails for walking or winter hiking and these leisure activities. Toboggan runs are listed as a winter activity; bear this seasonal connection in mind when choosing your travel dates.
Another leisure facility is Seepark St. Martin, which includes 6,700 m² of water surface. Together with the trails and winter activities, it adds a dedicated leisure area to the picture of the village.
Nature at Gerzkopf and Haranger
The Gerzkopf European protected area can be reached from St. Martin via a hiking trail. The “Schwarze Lacke” is located on Gerzkopf: an alpine biotope with a diverse dragonfly fauna. A biotope is a habitat; the high-altitude location and dragonflies are among the Schwarze Lacke’s distinctive natural features. The hiking trail to the summit of Gerzkopf passes various types of moorland. This brings together different natural features at Gerzkopf: a habitat with dragonflies and moorland landscapes along the route to the summit.
The Path of Natural Wonders also passes the Haranger high moor. The moor dates back to the Ice Age and features rare vegetation as well as orchids. Here, the focus is on the moor’s origins and its plants. If you are comparing nature trails, Haranger offers a different perspective from the dragonfly fauna of the Schwarze Lacke or the various types of moorland at Gerzkopf.
Routes, history and activities
The JOLLY themed trail offers a playful introduction to rural life and the world of animals and plants, with 13 interactive stations. The Kaisertour is a historic route numbered 73. These two trails offer different themes to help you find your way: the JOLLY themed trail focuses on agriculture, animals and plants, while the Kaisertour has a historical character.
The village’s history also offers a specific connection to the past. The parish church of St. Martin was built between 1421 and 1432. Three mountain bike routes start right in the centre of St. Martin. The Schwarzenegg Route starts in Sankt Martin am Tennengebirge and is 10.7 km (+1.0) long. The “Woody-Bob” alpine coaster was opened in 2022 in the Knablleiten area.
Getting around during your stay

A watershed separates the drainage basins of different rivers; here, the Lammer and the Fritzbach are the two reference points. The road and the pass therefore provide two different geographical points of reference for the village.
