Admont

People know Admont. Most people associate it with the Benedictine monastery and the world's largest monastic library. But the abbey alone is not enough: Admont simply has a lot to offer with its urban districts of Hall, Weng and the mountain climber's village of Johnsbach.

About the region

What guests can look forward to

Here in Admont, in the heart of the Ennstal Alps, mountain lovers have plenty to smile about. Over there are the Haller Mauern, with views of the Buchstein and the Hochtor Group, and then there’s the Reichenstein Group. Admont isn’t just a stop on the "From Glacier to Wine" hiking route—it’s also a popular starting point for adventures in the Gesäuse National Park, if only because you can begin the Hüttenrunde *vegan edition here and sample the local cuisine at the numerous inns. The phrase "The Gateway to the Gesäuse National Park" truly paints the right picture in your mind.

The Johnsbach district is an iconic mountaineering village, surrounded by the national park, home to the Odelstein Cave, and blessed with excellent inns. In summer, Hall also delights visitors with a salt nature trail along the Eßling River and the Mühlauer Waterfall, while Weng offers plenty of opportunities for walking, hiking, and biking.
