About Abtenau
Abtenau lies at about 700 metres in the Lammer valley, between the Tennengebirge, the Postalm and the Osterhorngruppe, with a population of around 5,800. The homes are spread around the town and its hillsides. It is a working market town rather than a purpose-built resort, so evenings are quiet. In winter there is a family ski area and about 70 km of cross-country trails in the municipality. In summer, walking on the Postalm is the draw. Off season the town runs as normal, but check that mountain lifts are operating.
Is Abtenau right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and cross-country skiers wanting space and a garden
- Not for you if
- You want big downhill skiing or a busy evening scene.
