First a trip to the [Katrin](https://en.katrinseilbahn.com/ "Link opens in new window"), the local mountain of Ischl, then a detour to the Zauner confectionery for a famous Zaunerstollen. And in the evening off to the Lehár Festival. The Lehár Festival is the largest operetta festival in Austria and unique worldwide in its diversity and quality. Every summer, musical entertainment theatre of the highest standard is presented to an international audience. The Lehár Festival presents world premieres and cabaret programmes as well as concerts, matinees and lectures every year.

Balancing over the elements between the trees requires skill and concentration. Outdoor fans can choose between three courses with Flyingfox and a low course at Breitenstein. As a team excursion, the day starts with a small breakfast on request before heading up into the heights. Afterwards, the guide leads you through various group-dynamic exercises that primarily strengthen trust, cohesion and team spirit. Afterwards, for example, a wicking dinner at the Maurerwirt in Kirchschlag or a whiskey tasting at Peter Affenzeller's can be organised.
