Customs and folklore are part of everyday life in Marktschellenberg.

Elevated to the rank of "Markt" as early as the 13th century, this alpine village is known for its idyllic location and ancient traditions. Long ago salt was refined here and marble was quarried from Mount Untersberg. This rocky mountain has provided the area with one of its attractions: Germany's last marble mill where marble balls are still produced today.

Thanks to its country inns and mountain farms, Marktschellenberg is particularly attractive for family vacations and for those seeking relaxation. Vacationing on a farm is an unforgettable experience.

Numerous hiking trails, as well as sights such as the picturesque Almbach gorge, the pilgrimage church of Ettenberg or Germany's largest ice cave guarantee alternatives to boredom.

Only a 15 minute drive away, Salzburg, the city of Mozart and the Festival offers a wealth of cultural sights.

Marktschellenberg is also a climatic spa region that offers health weeks in March and October, as well as medically supervised cleansing cures and whey or hay baths for vitality and joie de vivre. Its calendar of events keeps everyone entertained. Those who prefer to cool off on a hot day can enjoy the outdoor pool.
