FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH A GPS... If part of your journey involves use of a car then a Global Positioning Device is a very useful navigation tool. Our address and postcode will assist you in locating the town of St Michael (the postcode is the same for the whole town), however the direct co-ordinates will enable you to specifically locate our house:-
JUST TO BE SURE... Google Maps are great for finding locations anywhere in the world, and are a good tool for checking your GPS directions! VIGNETTE If you are driving from outside of Austria be sure to pick up a "Vignette" (Austrian Road Tax) for your car and stick it to your windscreen. These can be purchased from most motorway services and cost roughly 8 Euros for 10 days. Cars hired from within Austria usually supply a Vignette automatically but it is worth checking before leaving...
Sankt Michael is located directly off the main A10 Tauern Autobahn that runs from Salzburg to Villach, making it very easy to find from any direction, even without a GPS device (although it is still worthwhile having a map with you!).
From the North (Salzburg) For the most direct route follow the A10 heading South from Salzburg towards Graz/Villach. Travel through the Tauern Tunnel and exit just before the next main toll, exit number 104 Sankt Michael. The road will loop around and down towards the town from the West. Unfortunately you will not completely miss the toll charge as there is a booth just before you enter the town limits just a few minutes after you turn off the motorway. Follow the road towards Sankt Michael keeping eyes left for the Lagerhaus. Take the left exit directly as you reach the Lagerhaus signpost "Wiedenerweg" and travel uphill a short way. When you reach a Y crossing in the road keep right and we will be the first house on the left. If you continue up the path a little way you will see our guests car park on your left. Traffic allowing this route should take approximately 1hr 10 minutes from Salzburg. or..... If you prefer a more scenic route follow the A10 South towards Graz/Villach until you reach Altenmarkt. Take exit 63 to Ennstal and merge with the E651 towards Graz/B320/Altenmarkt/B99. Continue along the B99 and this will take you further east through Obertauern. This road also has a partial toll. Follow the road until you see signs for Sankt Michael. From this direction you will enter the town from the east and need to continue west past the town centre until you see signs for Wieden.
