Hugging the sides of the lake, we went strolling today by Traunsee , in Gmunden , Austria.
What a delight. Lovely cafes , restaurants, ice creams along the sides of the lake, and the views are outstanding. Sort of a poor man's Como see.
But really try the Gmundenberg Haus, for a trink and something to eat. Great value and the views, fantastic.

Traunsee is situated very close to the town " Gmunden" at upper Austria.In German language it is expressed just the reverse way ie " Gmunden am Traunsee". Traunsee is surrounded by high mountains. Both Gmunden town and lake Traun " Traunsee" are very popular destinations of Austria
as health & summer resorts.
Traunsee has large surface area of 24 Sq. Kms. and its max. depth is 191 Mtr.Tranquil enormous water surrounded by high mountains is really like Nature's Gift to Austria. It is really paradise for those
who love the nature and tranquility, away from the noise of big towns.
Other nearby attractions are ;
Schlos Ort , Historishe Gmundner Strssenbahn , Gmundner Keramik & Historishe Traumseebahn.
In my opinion these lively destinations are " Must See " while driving from Vienna to Salzburg in
Austria. Few pictures from my collection , beeing offered to readers.

The Traunsee is not the ideal lake for people loving warm water and sandy beaches. It is the perfect place for people who love clean fresh greenish-clear water and a panorama on the mountain Traunstein to die for. Love it !

A beautiful lake resort in Upper Austria. The lake and the surrounding mountains leave you breathless and exhilarated, a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of Vienna. The place is so quiet and laid back and the water is crystal clear. Lots of restaurants and hotels that provide magnificent views. Around two hours by car from Vienna. Ideal for a short summer break.

Just a two minute walk to the pier from the lovely Schwann Seehotel in Gumnden gets you onto a boat with comfortable seats that whisks its passengers across the length of Lake Traunsee. It happened to be a cool and wet August morning for us and the accommodating crew distributed new, thick blankets for all to use. We wrapped ourselves and commenced our journey to several towns which dot the bottom edges of this mountainous terrain surrounding Lake Traunsee. Our itinerary took us to Ebensee at the other end of the lake and the return trip was €19 per person. The ride took the most part of an hour each way. Do not miss a chance to see all the gorgeous towns and castles near the shores of this lake!

It's a good place to spend a summer holiday. Lake is quite warm, and it is possible to swim. In Altmunster there is a free place for sunbathing and swimming. Close to the lake there are several mountains with a lot of hiking paths. Along shore of the lake there is also a Salzkammergut bicycle path, so we can safely try cycling. I spent here 10 days, and it was absolutly too short time to try all possible activities. I will come here in next year too :)

There! It is one of the most beautiful lake in Sazlkammerkut, south of Salzburg and the town nearby Hallstatt, Austria. We may even call it the ancient lake, because there are fossils, i.e., ammonite (if I spell it right!) that they mine from the mountain around the lake, and becomed decorating items for your souvenirs or decorate your houses, i.e., clocks, but not a cheap thing to buy aswell! The mirror like lake that reflect the mountain view on the lake surface, amazing and unforgetable! If you are in Hallstatt, just catch a local bus to there about 30 -40 minutes depends on time and traffic current when you go, but not worth enough to ride a long and safe road there. Let's give your own gift of your life once to visit.

The surrounding and the view from the lake is very beautiful. The water is not too warm, though.

Peace, beauty and tranquil times await you at this beautiful location. From the snow caps to the amazing lake.
I really loved the electric boats they rent, being on the lake and taking the boat to the base of the sheer cliff that is the wall of the lake is simply incredible. Much to do, many things to see and great food all around. I would highly suggest driving up into the mountains to get the incredible view of the entire lake.

A beautiful lake surrounded by impressive mountains. Highlight to our mind is Traunkirchen, a small village attached to the lake a few miles from Gmunden. The village was built around mount St John which is a prehistoric place of worship dating back to 1500 bc, Today there is a little chapel on the top of mount St John offering a stunning view over the lake.. We were very impressed by the unique yew trees growing all over the mount. Yew trees were the favourite trees of the druids we were told with a wink. Worth a visit.
