News in Piesendorf Niedernsill
Hinkelsteinbad (Public Pool) Open
Preparations at the leisure area for the summer season 2026 are in full swing. ☀️
From 12 June 2026, we will begin weekend operations, and from 1 July 2026, the bathing lake will be open daily in good weather conditions.
📌 Due to construction work on the forest road in the Burgeck area in Niedernsill, the route is closed to all traffic - including mountain bikers - from 25th May to 15th December 2026, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. 🚵♂️
On Saturdays and Sundays, the route can be used at your own risk. Please note that loose gravel, potholes and rough, uneven terrain are to be expected in the construction area.
💡 Note! Official mountain bike access on forest roads is permitted until 15th November. After that, forest roads are closed to mountain bikers and reopen on 1st May.
Due to forestry work, the Hauserberg/Sonnenweg section as well as the forest trail between Engelbrechtalm and Pinzgauer Hütte are closed.
📌 Please follow the local signs and information on site.
Due to the reconstruction of the Kapellenbahn lift on the Schmittenhöhe, temporary closures or diversions may occur in the area between the junction to the Pinzgauer Hütte and the Schmittenhöhe. Increased construction traffic is also expected in this area.
📌 Please follow the current information and on-site signage.
The Pinzgau Lokalbahn train takes you comfortably and eco-friendly through the stunning landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Trains run regularly between Zell am See and Mittersill - with a half-hourly service on the route between Zell am See, Piesendorf, and Niedernsill! Between Mittersill and Krimml, a rail replacement bus service is currently in operation.
Our sunny alpine landscape offers unforgettable moments not only for you, but also for your four-legged companion. Together you can enjoy scenic walks, discover a wide range of attractions and explore cosy mountain huts.
📌 Lead required - where does it apply? Dogs must be kept on a lead in all towns, on hiking trails and in forests. On public transport and in cable cars, a muzzle is also required.
🚫 Dog ban! Please note: Dogs are not allowed on the trail along the Salzach between the dog training area in Niedernsill and the Hummerdorf bridge in Piesendorf. Please use the Tauern Cycle Path as an alternative.
🐄 Meeting grazing animals - be mindful! During summer, many alpine pastures and meadows are used for grazing. Mother cows instinctively protect their calves. 👉 Avoid contact. Keep your dog on a lead at all times. If a cow behaves aggressively, let your dog off the lead immediately so it can get away safely. This protects you, your dog - and the animals.
🐕 Are there off-leash areas? Yes! In Hummersdorf/Piesendorf, there*s a fenced dog meadow where your dog can run and play freely.
🏡 Is there a dog boarding service? Yes! The Trumlinghof in Piesendorf is a lovingly run dog boarding facility offering flexible care - whether hourly or full-day.
💩 Why is cleaning up after your dog so important? Dog waste contains bacteria that can spoil the hay used by local farmers - and in the worst case, make cows ill. Please use dog waste bags and dispose of them in the designated bins - for the sake of nature and all our guests.
🏞️ What activities can I do with my dog? Many attractions in our region are dog-friendly and welcome you both warmly. You'll find a handy overview here.
