The annual Christmas show on December 24 made the manor ‚Gut Aiderbichl’ popular. The Celtic name ‚Aiderbichl’ symbolizes the location of the manor, which is supposed to have a special energy.

On the one hand it’s the touching animal stories that fascinate people. (Every year many animals are spared their original destines and spend the rest of their lives without sorrows on the manor.) On the other hand the manor ‘Aiderbichl’ also tries to raise awareness for people who need help and often are forgotten, like for example handicapped people.

Especially in wintertime, the manor is a popular place for excursions. From November 20 until January 9 there is also a Christmas market. 

Sallerhof tip: The manor is just a few miles from the Sallerhof!

The river Salzach is an important part of the city Salzburg, as its course splits the city in two parts. The Almkanal, another river in Salzburg, is not as well-known although its origin is very interesting.

 The first parts of the Almkanal were built in the 8^th century already. In the 17^th century the river and canal was finished. Since then it was important for economic utilization but outdoor leisure as well.

 Some parts, for example the one near the castle of Leopoldskron are even under nature conservation.

 In September, there is no water in the Almkanal. Thus there is the possibility to participate guided tours and learn more about the interesting history of the Almkanal.

For those who like plants and gardens, the botanical garden in Salzburg is a good recommendation.

650 different species and plants can be found on the grounds of the University Salzburg.

In the building of the University itself, there is a facade green house with tropical plants. The other plants, also some horticultural cultures can be found in the spacious garden.

From 10-18 o’clock the botanic garden is open (no entrance fees).

Moreover there are guided tours. The next tours are on September 13, 20 and 27.
