Golling an der Salzach 1963
It is located on the southern rim of the Tennengau region south of the city of Salzburg. Here at the confluence
of the Salzach and its Lammer tributary, the river leaves the Salzachöfen Gorge between the Berchtesgaden
Alps and the Tennen Mountains ranges of the Northern Limestone Alps and flows northwards into the broad
Salzburg basin. The Hoher Göll massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps in the west comprise the Schwarzbachfall
Cave and the 76 m (249 ft) high Golling Waterfall, a natural monument.
Parallel to the Salzach River, the historic Salzachtal Straße enters the narrow gorge at Pass Lueg. Golling sta-
tion is a stop on the Salzburg-Tyrol Railway, served by ÖBB trains and the Salzburg suburban S-Bahn net-
work. The market town also has access to the Tauern Autobahn (A10) from Salzburg to Villach.
The municipal area comprises the cadastral communities of Golling, Torren, and Obergäu. Golling proper is
colloquially just called Markt (“market”).
