Puch Ort with the parish church and panoramic views of the Salzach Valley

Our journey begins in the heart of Puch, where the historic parish church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary takes centre stage. Seen from the air, the church rises majestically above the village, framed by lush green fields and the rolling hills of the Salzach Valley. This impressive panorama shows the harmonious combination of culture and nature that makes Puch so unique. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Salzach Valley and let yourself be enchanted by the peaceful atmosphere.

The village centre of Puch with its charming shops, such as the flower shop, pharmacy and tobacconist, as well as the cosy inns, cafés and restaurants, contribute to the inviting and lively atmosphere. The view to the south-west is dominated by the mighty Untersberg, which towers majestically over the landscape and provides an impressive backdrop.

The large municipal car park in the middle of the village is the ideal starting point for numerous hikes, such as up the Almerberg or along the Salzach to Kaltenhausen or Urstein. The easy village circuit takes you, for example, along the Sister Hildegard Trail with the new agricultural information boards to the leisure centre and the FC Puch forest stadium, past a dog meadow. The ideal "after-work loop" or "dog loop" for walking your dog.

It's so green in St. Jakob am Thurn

The route continues to St. Jakob am Thurn, a picturesque district just above Puch. Here you have a spectacular view to the south over the pond to the Salzach Valley and the majestic Salzburg mountains. The view of the Untersberg, which rises up in the background, is particularly impressive, as is the view of the city of Salzburg to the north.

Our drone shots capture the beauty of this landscape and show the castle tower and the idyllic pilgrimage church of St. Jakob in all its splendour. A walk around the pond is a must for all nature lovers and photographers - a hit at any time of year!
