Nature experiences with different characteristics

Going bathing lake combines a clear orientation towards the surrounding landscape with a special view of the area: it is idyllically located at the edge of the forest and offers magnificent panoramic views of the Kaiser Mountains. At the same time, the lake is fed by clear springs from the Wilder Kaiser. If you would like to include a nature experience in your accommodation stay in Going, the bathing lake is an obvious option for planning your day.

Moor & More presents another side of the landscape. The natural adventure world is situated amid a restored moorland landscape with particularly impressive flora and fauna. This destination therefore primarily appeals to visitors interested in moorlands, plant life and wildlife. The bathing lake and Moor & More represent different types of nature experience, allowing you to choose which theme shapes your travel plans depending on your focus.

Astberg, Astbergbahn and hiking trail

For mountain and trail experiences, the Astbergbahn offers a clearly defined starting point: the four-seat chairlift runs from Going to the 1,200-metre-high Astberg. Hiking and walking are possible there. Astberg Lake complements this offering as a specific destination. The Wilder Kaiser is reflected in the lake; visitors can also sit on a bench and listen to the birdsong.

A documented hike to Astberg Lake begins at Lanzenweg in Going. After approximately 200 metres, it joins hiking trail number 6, then continues across meadows and through forests to the Hollenauer Kreuz snack station, followed by hiking trail number 7 to Astberg Lake. You should take the individual trail sections and the approximate distance into account when planning your day. Anyone looking for accommodation can therefore decide in advance whether to focus on the mountain railway ride, walks or this described hike.

Crafts, village square and Bergdoktor e-bike tour

The handicrafts market is a permanent part of Going’s summer events calendar and has itself become a tradition. Almost forgotten crafts such as Pilotenschlagen, quill embroidery, Dogglmachen and woodturning are preserved and maintained there. In some places, visitors can try their hand at an old craft themselves. The market is therefore particularly interesting for your travel planning if you would like not only to view regional craft culture but also to gain practical experience with individual activities.

The Bergdoktor e-bike tour offers another way to explore Going. It includes the church square in Going and passes the three main filming locations of the series “Der Bergdoktor”. The village square in Going is regularly seen in the series. Anyone interested in the filming locations therefore has a separate excursion focus that differs from the nature and craft-related topics.

Choose accommodation according to your preferred daily itinerary

When looking for accommodation in Going am Wilden Kaiser, deciding according to your interests is more helpful than a general classification. Nature lovers can include the bathing lake, moorland and Astberg in their plans. Those seeking cultural impressions can focus on the handicrafts market. For fans of the series and cyclists, the Bergdoktor e-bike tour offers a separate reason to visit. These attractions describe different options in Going; they do not automatically form a single circular route or one unified daily itinerary.

If you are travelling with several people, you can consciously divide up the different interests and then decide on shared activities. For comparing other destinations, you can also consider Aschau, Waidring, Sankt Ulrich Am Pillersee, Jochberg, Kirchdorf In Tirol, Sankt Jakob In Haus, Brixen Im Thale and Kössen.
