In July 2023 Schwarzach became chess central, when Europe’s chess elite gathered for the 36th Salzburger Sonnenterrasse Chess Open. This tournament, supported by Raiffeisen, is one of the highest remunerated and best attended in all of Austria. Between 15th and 23rd July the ‘Einklang’ festival hall in Goldegg was transformed into an arena for masters and enthusiasts. Players provided exciting games with Salzburger Sonnenterrasse providing a unique backdrop, while spectators had the opportunity to experience chess at the highest level. It was more than just a tournament – it was a celebration of the art of chess in the middle of a picturesque landscape.
Schwarzach Trail is a trail highlight in Sonnenterrasse. 47 kilometres with four summit contacts on Schwarzach Trail K47 are on the agenda, while those wanting to sample the trail can devote themselves to a smaller challenge over 15.6 km. The limited number of starters (max. 250 participants per route) retains the original trail experience, accompanied by a highly diverse programme of supporting events.
