Bad Aussee is located in Salzkammergut in the federal states Styria, Austria.
Take part in one of the many traditional yearly festivals:
Berigln - As the sun sets on the evening of January 5th, masked figures, dressed to embody winter spirits, travel from door to door. Local farmers and residents invite them in for a something to eat, such as Bauernkrapfen, which is usually then washed down with several home-made shots of Schnapps.
Fasching (Fat Tuesday) - The festivities culminate on Fat Tuesday, when a grand parade is held in town. The various troupes of costumed locals, including the Trommelweiber, the Fischer, and the gorgeous Flinserl, add color and provide entertainment.
Narzissenfest - A much-loved spring festival occurring towards the end of May/beginning of June. Floats are created by local residents and decorated with the native Narzissen flowers. After a parade through town, they are launched onto either Lake Grundlsee or Lake Altausssee.
Go hiking. Bad Aussee lies between beautiful mountains in the Alps, so enjoy the beautiful scenery by taking a walk in the valleys or by hiking up the mountains.
Also there are many mountain lakes near by. In summer they usually are warm enough to swim in (18-22 degrees of Celsius)
