Hiking in Salzburg -- Doable without a car?

We will be in Salzburg in September.. looking for interesting hikes that we can do without a car... public transportation is fine. Thoughts anyone? Thanks

Untersberg is a short bus trip south of Salzburg. Bus transportation and the cable car ride are included with the Salzburg Card (cable car is regularly €32 r/t for adults). There are a number of hiking trails, and amazing views! I visited in September as well, and it was a great outing from Salzburg.

Bus 151 to the top of Gaisbergspitz. Also included in Salzburg Card.

You could also take the bus trip I described a while back out to the Wolfgangsee, I bet there is some good hiking around there

One advantage of not having a car is that you do not need to hike back to where you have parked it. Are there interesting hikes in the area where you take public transport to point A, hike to B, and then public transport back from there?

Wow. Thanks everyone. These are great ideas... just a quick followup... my husband does suffer from a bit of vertigo... any issue with that and these hikes?
