Enzingerboden (1483 m) lies in the Austrian province of 'Salzburgerland'. The area belongs to the village of Uttendorf. This village is situated between Mittersill and Zell am See in the valley of the Pinzgau region. From Uttendorf an asphalted road runs 17 kilometers south into the Stubach valley in between the westerly mountain ridge of Granatspitzgruppe and to the east the 'Kitzsteinhorn' skiing area of Kaprun.

The road ends up in Enzingerboden and situated here are a few guest & holiday houses, a small chapel, a hydro-electric power station from the Austrian Kraftwerkskette der ÖBB, the valley station of the Rudolfshütte cabel-car railway and an extreme lot of scenic beauty, just as along the valley road.

Just a dozen of meters from the 'Ferienwohnung Enzingerboden' apartment building there's this beautifull natural reservoir, the 'Enzingerboden Stausee', which translated means 'barraged storage reservoir of Enzingerboden'. Because of the continuous supply of fresh water a true fly-fishing paradise. The ones to catch are Trout & Dace. The minerals in the water, coming from the mountain slopes, color the lake brightly Turquoise in the sun. This reservoir belongs, together with a number of other barraged lakes in the area, to an extensive hydro-electric generation network. The water levels of these reservoirs therefore, can differ considerably from day to day.

The six-person cable-car railway runs up to the middle station Grünsee and a second cable-car goes up to Alpinzentrum Rudolfshütte (2352 m), at the Weißsee Glacier-terrace. Ten kilometers South of Enzingerboden lies the highest mountain of Austria, the Großglockner (3798 m) in the middle of Hohe Tauern National Park. The area contains large patches of eternal snow and forms a high terrace worn out by historic glaciers.

In the summer, surrounded by abundant nature, endless variations of hiking tours are available. It can be over woody mountain slopes or green Alpine meadows, it can be along the eternal snow patches at the glacier-terrace or the many crystal clear mountain reservoirs and spectacular waterfalls.

At winter time the area is completely covered by a thick layer of virgin white snow and the only thing that counts is winter sports: Skiing, Snowboarding, Cross-country Skiing and Ski touring. It goes without saying that the road trough the valley is always accessible and cleared of snow. In the winter-season Ski bus transfers are free of charge and available between Enzingerboden, Uttendorf and the European Sportregion of Kaprun and Zell am See.
