"Beyond the Tauern", this is what the locals call the location of this region in the SalzburgerLand, which projects into the south-easternmost corner of the province. The high valley is protected against northern, western, and southern winds; therefore, it has little precipitation and can – because of its climate and large number of sunny days – be compared with the most popular sunshine health resorts. With the Golfclub Lungau in St. Michael (18-hole championship course and 9-hole, par-3 course for beginners) as well as 4 more courses within an hour by car, the Holiday Region Lungau offers everything that golfers desire.
