Going am Wilden Kaiser reveals its special character where nature experiences, mountain trails and living handicraft traditions come together. Going bathing lake is fed by clear springs from the Wilder Kaiser and lies idyllically at the edge of the forest. Added to this are Astberg with its lake, the natural Moor & More adventure world and a handicrafts market that gives Going’s summer events its own distinctive character. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Going am Wilden Kaiser can therefore easily tailor their travel plans around these different experiences.

Bathing lake and moorland

At Going bathing lake, it is not just the water that forms part of the landscape experience. From the edge of the forest, there is a magnificent panoramic view of the Kaiser Mountains. The clear springs of the Wilder Kaiser that feed the lake underscore the natural character of this place. For a stay in which observing nature and enjoying peaceful moments play an important role, the bathing lake is an obvious point of reference when planning a trip.

Moor & More offers a different perspective. The natural adventure world is located in Going am Wilden Kaiser amid a renaturalised moorland landscape with particularly impressive flora and fauna. When choosing accommodation, different aspects of nature can therefore be taken into account: at the lake, the focus is on water, the edge of the forest and the Kaiser Mountains, while at Moor & More, it is on the distinctive moorland landscape and its plant and animal life.

Take the Astberg cable car to Astberg Lake

The Astberg cable car is a four-seater chairlift from Going to the 1,200-metre-high Astberg. From Going, the lift takes you up to Astberg, where hikes and walks are possible. One described hike to Astberg Lake begins at Lanzenweg in Going. After approximately 200 metres, the route continues along Hiking Trail No. 6, across meadows and through forests to the Hollenauer Kreuz snack station. Hiking Trail No. 7 then leads to Astberg Lake.

At the destination, the Wilder Kaiser is reflected in Astberg Lake. Visitors can sit on a bench there and listen to the chirping of the birds. Astberg Lake therefore offers a clear contrast to a more active day in the mountains: the route can be experienced step by step, while the lake itself provides a place for a mindful break. Take the described route into account when planning your day and choose your accommodation based on the mountain and nature experiences you want to place at the centre of your stay.

Going handicrafts and TV series locations

The handicrafts market is a permanent feature of Going’s summer events and has itself become a tradition. Nearly forgotten crafts such as pilotenschlagen, quill embroidery, Dogglmachen and woodturning are practised and preserved there.

For families who enjoy discovering something together while travelling, this cultural focus offers a different way to get to know Going than spending a day in the mountain landscape.
