The Schößwendklamm gorge is an extraordinary natural spectacle and was declared a natural monument by law in 1983 because of its peculiarity and beauty. The gorge is a worthwhile excursion destination in the Felbertal. It is easily accessible by footbridges and offers an imposing impression.

The natural monument Hintersee (1313 m) at the head of the Felbertal valley is a popular excursion destination and starting point for high alpine mountain hikes. The lake was formed in 1495 by a huge landslide. From the "Gamsblick-Alm" on the far shore of the lake, you can observe chamois in the wild with the naked eye.
On the route of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn there are regular trips with the steam locomotive Mh 3 and historic carriages to Krimml with connection to the Krimml Waterfalls.
