Part of the town’s cultural past is re-enacted in the traditional “Schifferstechen”, when boatsmen vie with each other on their boats, pirate battles, shooting competitions, Midsummer night festivals and rides on punts. Oberndorf is only 20 km. from the music festival city of Salzburg, which is easily reached by the half-hourly local electric railway service, but it is also a paradise for walkers hikers and cyclists.

For sport lovers there are tennis courts, curling tracks, beach volleyball courts, skater park and numerous pathways and tracks for power walking and jogging. Typical Salzburg hospitality and local dishes are to be found everywhere.
