The 15-hectare wildlife park awaits you directly at the Fusch-Ferleiten ticket office. At the entrance of the wild and romantic Käfertal you can observe about 200 animals from imposing ibexes to impressive wolves and cute marmots to nimble chamois, which are native to the Alps. The circular walk through the wildlife park takes about an hour and is suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. A pond with a rest area as well as an observation tower invite you to linger. Educational and display boards provide information about the flora and fauna of the Alps. The park is open from the beginning of May to the beginning of November daily from 08:00 until nightfall!

The energy from the mountains that also thinks of tomorrow. The two high-mountain reservoirs in Kaprun, built in the post-war period, are still known today as a marvel of engineering. At an altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level, they still generate a huge amount of electricity. Filled to the brim with meltwater, the two lakes, reminiscent of fjords, conceal their turbines behind the mighty dam walls, which run at full speed, especially in spring. During the summer months, this marvel of technology can be visited daily.

They are impressive, majestic and a wonder of nature. The fifth highest waterfalls in the world are above all extraordinary more than worth seeing. With a height of almost 400 meters, the Krimml Waterfalls transport virtually an entire world of water over three drop stages at the mouth of the valley into the depths. In the process, an average of 5.6 m3 of water pelts down into the depths every second. With around 400,000 visitors per year, they are also among the top 10 most sought-after sights in Austria.

One can hardly find enough superlatives when reporting on what is clearly the largest ice cave in the world. The Eisriesenwelt Werfen is a breathtaking natural spectacle. Over more than 42 km in length, the fascinating cave labyrinth includes waterfalls, stairs and curtains of frozen ice. The first part of the cave system, about one kilometer long, is covered with impressive ice formations and is open to visitors. Since the cave is a protected monument, special emphasis was placed on naturalness during the development.

Hohenwerfen fortress offers you and your family a varied leisure program. Look forward to guided castle tours, flight demonstrations with birds of prey and exciting special exhibitions.

At 3,798 meters, the Grossglockner is the highest mountain in Austria. With the construction of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the majestic mountain has been opened up as an excursion destination for everyone. You can look forward to the magnificent view of the surrounding mountain world with more than 30 three-thousand-meter peaks. Only about half an hour's drive from the Hotel DAS NEUHAUS you enter the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The 48 km long pass road leads with 36 hairpin bends deep into the center of Austria's largest national park. Numerous panoramic stops and refreshment stops as well as exhibitions along the pass road make for an entertaining program. The highlight for classic car drivers is certainly the automobile exhibition on the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe with a magnificent view of the Großglockner and the Pasterze.

Over 30 m deep along the Kapruner Ache. It has been around 14,000 years since a glacier slowly worked its way through the blue slate rock of the Mais- and Bürgkogel during the late ice age. What remained was a valley incision through which the Kapruner Ache flows to this day. In the meantime, the river has burrowed over 30 m and left behind bizarre whirlpool pots. Over wooden footbridges and numerous bridges, the path runs along the narrow rock walls, amidst the 3,000-meter peaks in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
