Local Area and Attractions

Gaestehaus Salzburg Bed and Breakfast and Cabins is located in Hickory Nut Gorge, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Eastern United States. The Gorge is about 14 miles long, and extends from the small villages of Gerton through Bat Cave and Chimney Rock to Lake Lure. The rushing Rocky Broad River flows through the Gorge and empties into the crystal waters of the lake.

Just a short drive away are two championship 18-hole golf courses as well as the 9-hole Lake Lure municipal golf course. Nearby are the scenic attractions of Chimney Rock Park and Lake Lure Tours, Marina and Beach. Also in the Gorge are horseback riding, boat rentals, skiing, rock climbing, zip lines, rafting, biking, shopping in quaint shops, good restaurants, and enjoying the lake activities.

Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway are about a 45 minute drive from Gaestehaus Salzburg. Hendersonville, with shopping, movies and the Flat Rock Playhouse, is about 35-40 minutes away.

An extended stay will allow trips to Cherokee Village and lots of water falls.
