With barely 400 residents, this village offers an escape into unspoiled nature: emerald meadows, dense forests, and the shimmering Grabensee — one of the smaller, less-visited lakes in the Salzkammergut region. Here, life moves slowly. You can cycle along the lake’s edge, swim in the clean, cool water on a summer afternoon, or hike up to neighboring hills for panoramic views of the Austrian Alps. The local Gasthof serves hearty Austrian fare like Schnitzel and Knödel, and the nearest larger town, Mattsee, is just a short bike ride away. Perwang is ideal for travellers seeking solitude, authentic rural life, and easy access to outdoor activities — from sailing and fishing in warm months to ice-skating when the lake freezes. Though small, the village offers a genuine slice of rural Austria, untouched by mass tourism. Its friendly locals and safe, clean environment make it perfect for families, couples, or solo hikers looking to unwind away from crowded tourist hubs.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","999",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","112",[17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50],{"key":18,"value":19},"Do I need a visa?","Citizens of most EU\u002FEEA countries and many others (e.g., US, Canada) do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days.
